Details and sources

Record note

Not established is the honest state of this record: it rests on one or more sources naming this maker, and nothing else on this site confirms it. Printed in: An encyclopedia of the violin (1925); An encyclopedia of the violin (1925); An Encyclopedia of the Violin (1926); The Violinist’s Guide: Written for the Use of the Violin Buying Public (1916), p. 25. 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 what those sources state has been invented here; if you can add to it, we want to hear from you.

How the pages were read

5 of the 5 lines here were read from machine text (software that turns a photo of a page into words), not by a person looking at the page image. Trade terms matched from the printed page: “m.r.”. 1 of them rests on a section heading above a list of names, not on a trade word printed on its own line: “VIOLIN MAKERS IN EUROPE”.

Notes

The books behind this record

This record draws on 3 sources, 1 read from the page image; 2 read from machine text. The count weighs how well each source was read, not just how many are cited. A stack of half-read sources does not outweigh one page read properly.
