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: The Violin: Its Famous Makers and their Imitators (1875); The violin: its famous makers and their imitators (1875); The violin: its famous makers and their imitators. : With several wood engravings from photographs of the works of Stradiuarius, Guarnerius, Amati, and others (1880). Entries from 2 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 has been invented here, which leaves the record not established; tell us if you can change that.
