3ROL — Paris circa 1750. Graceful make seldom found.
5ROPIQUET — Paris towards 1820. Amateur maker who has made some violins not devoid of qualities.

9S
11SACQUIN — Paris towards 1840. Pupil of Aldric. An excellent maker who has worked after the Stradivarius model. He used a generous red oil varnish. In our opinion his best instruments are his 'cellos. He lived at No 14, rue Beauregard, about the year 1850. Nos 271-201.
13SAJOT — Paris circa 1730. Not an outstanding make, the arching is scarcely perceptible. Generally with a dark yellow varnish. The label only bears the following: Sajot à Paris 17..
15SALLE — Paris circa 1836. An excellent workman who has made some good copies of the Italian masters, Guarnerius, among others. He has signed but few instruments.
17SALOMON (Jean-Baptiste-Deshayes) — Paris 1730-1772. This maker, whose production has been as great as it has been unequal, is much in demand. The material used is generally good, and the varnish, yellow. Branded near the button, apart from the label. His 'cellos are particularly sought after when they reach the size. He has left some very nice quintoles with carved heads. Nos 37-38.
19SALZARD (François) — Mirecourt 1808-1874. Ordinary work. Brown yellow varnish.
21SALZARD (D.) — Same observations as for one above.
23SARAILLAC (François) — Lyons circa 1670-1715. Viols and pochettes. Little known. Used a brown varnish.
