Record note

This record exists because one or more sources name this maker. Printed in: A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1896); An encyclopedia of the violin (1925); An encyclopedia of the violin (1925); An Encyclopedia of the Violin (1926); Old violins (1905). Nothing else on this site confirms this record beyond what those sources state — no claim is invented here. Entries from 5 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. Not established is the honest state of this record; if you can change that, we want to hear from you.
