3Italian Makers.
5ACEVO, Cremona, about 1640.—School of Amati.
6Pupil of Giuseppe Cappa. His workmanship is rough, and the material which he used ill-selected.
8ALBANESI, Sebastianus, Cremona, 1720—1744.—The instruments of this maker are now rarely met with. They were well made. The pattern is bold and the model flat, and constructed on principles which should render them of good tone. Although made at Cremona, they do not properly belong to the school of that place, but have the characteristics of the Milanese workmanship. Their varnish is quite unlike that of the Cremonese.
10ALBANI, Mathias Botzen, 17th century. (See German makers.)
12ALBANI, Paolo, Palermo, 1650—1680, made many excellent instruments. He was one of the pupils of Nicholas Amati. The pattern is broad, and the workmanship carefully executed.
14ALETZIE, Paolo (Monaco, 1720—1736). His principal instruments are Violas and Violoncellos, many of which are excellent. The former are mostly of large size. Varnish wanting in mellowness.
16ALVANI, Cremona. Imitator of Joseph Guarnerius, whom he copied with considerable skill.
