3ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES OF THE ITALIAN VIOLIN-MAKERS, AND THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THEIR WORKS.
51. ACEVO. At first in Cremona, afterwards, 1640, at Saluzzio. A pupil of Giuseppe Cappa, of the Amati school. His work is not well finished, and the wood is not well selected. (i)
72. ALBANESI, Sebastianus. Cremona, 1720-1744. Well-made instruments are rare. The model is flat, and of pleasing design. Although made at Cremona, they resemble more nearly the work of Milanese makers. The varnish especially is quite unlike that of Cremona. (ii)
93. ALBANI, Matthias. Botzen. Born in 1621 at Botzen, died there in 1673. A pupil of Stainer. His violins have higher archings than those of his master, and are of a more clumsy design. The two higher strings have a clear tone, but the lower ones are nasal. The varnish is a reddish brown.
114. ALBANI, Matthias. Botzen, 1650-1709. Son of the preceding, and a pupil of Nicolas Amati. His instruments are so well
13(i) He is principally known by his bass-viols. Fétis mentions a viol da gamba by him, dated 1693, which had belonged to Marin-Marais. The existence of this maker under this name is not altogether clear.
15(ii) Vidal states he was a pupil of Carlo Bergonzi.
