5ACEVO, Saluzzo. Reference is made in the "Biographie Universelle des Musiciens" to this maker having been a pupil of Gioffredo Cappa, and M. Fétis mentions his having seen a Viol da Gamba dated 1693 of this make, which belonged to Marin Marais, the famous performer on the Viol.
7ALBANESI, Sebastiano, Cremona, 1720—1744. The pattern is bold and the model flat. Although made at Cremona, they do not properly belong to the school of that place, having the characteristics of Milanese work. The varnish is quite unlike that of Cremona.
9ALBANI, Paolo, Palermo, 1650—1680. Is said to have been a pupil of Niccolò Amati. The pattern is broad and the work carefully executed.
11ALETZIE, Paolo, Munich, 1720—1736. He made chiefly Tenors and Violoncellos, some of which are well-finished instruments. The varnish is inferior, both as regards quality and colour. The characteristics of this maker are German, and might be classed with that school.
