1NAYLOR, ISAAC, Headingly, b. Leeds; 1778 to 1792.
3NELLA, RAFFAELE, Brescia, 1659 to 1672.
5NEUNER, MATHIAS II, Mittenwald, 1795 to 1830. A skillful violin maker who was the founder of the still established firm of Neuner and Hornsteiner. The violins which carry his name are not all genuine, because, after working at the business for a time, he engaged a large force of men, and the violins made by them are not so good in tone and workmanship as those made by himself, even though they bear the Neuner label.
7NEZOT, ——, Paris, 1730 to 1760.
9NICOLAS, DIDIER L'AINE, Mirecourt, b. Mirecourt, 1757, d. 1833. Son and pupil Antoine Nicolas. He made good cheap violins, but they cannot be judged as works of art, although they have all the same good characteristics. His model is flat and suggestive of Stradivarius. With his attempts to change the regular form of the violin, he had, like many others, very little success. His varnish is reddish brown inclining toward yellow. He conducted the manufacture of violins on a large scale, and at times employed as many as six hundred men.
