1AND VIOLIN MAKERS
3means scarce, is not so plentiful as is sometimes supposed. He came of a family of makers, and his pattern and style were followed by other makers. Red or yellow varnish, sometimes handsome and brilliant. Sound-holes not very wide open. Heads cleanly cut. The arching varies a good deal. Pattern looks rather narrow; probably more so than it actually is. He used a variety of labels, one having a shield bearing his name.
5GÜTTER. A whole tribe of makers of this name worked in Markneukirchen and elsewhere in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Upwards of a score of them are mentioned by the German writer, von Lütgendorff.
7GUGGEMOS, MARCUS. — Füssen; eighteenth century. High built fiddles with brown varnish, and ornamental labels. Füssen has produced makers whose style and varnish are not unlike Italian, but Guggemos can hardly be reckoned amongst them.
9GUGLIELMI, GIO. BATTISTA.—Cremona; eighteenth century. Little known.
11GUIDANTUS. See Floreno.
13GUSETTO, NICCOLO. — Cremona; eighteenth century. A Florentine of no particular merit as a maker. Instruments usually high built and German in style.
15GUTERMANN, WILHELM THEODOR.—Vienna. Died in 1900. A good workman. Made some curious shaped violins on a pattern designed by a Dr. Liharzik.
