Details and sources

Record note

Nothing on this site confirms this record beyond what one or more sources state, and that is the whole basis for it: A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1896). Entries from 2 books stand under this name, and the software judged them near-certain the same person. Tell us if that is wrong and we will split the record. No claim beyond that has been invented here, which leaves the record not established; tell us if you can change that.
