Record note

Dictionary of Violin makers (1928); Old Violins And Their Makers (1883); Old violins (1905) is what this record is built on, nothing more. Entries from 3 books stand under this name, and the software judged them likely the same person. Tell us if that is wrong and we will split the record. No claim beyond that naming has been invented here, so not established is the honest state of the record — tell us if you can change it.
