1VIOLIN TONE
3Large fiddles, double purfled after the manner of Maggini.
5KRINER.—Mittenwald; eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A large family which includes one or two high-class workmen. Amongst them may be mentioned Simon Kriner, who died in 1821, and was a clever copyist of Italian work. He travelled with his productions and occasionally came to England.
7KULIK, JOHANNES.—Prague. Died 1872. Neat work and well-cut heads. Used various tickets.
9LAFLEUR, JACQUES.—Paris. Died 1832. Excellent bow-maker. A son, Joseph René, was also a good workman. Died 1874.
11LAGETTO, LOUIS.—Paris; eighteenth century. Was an Italian. Yellow-brown varnish. Mediocre style and appearance.
13LAMBERT, JEAN NICOLAS.—Paris; eighteenth century. Used various labels, some with ornamental border; also sometimes branded his work.
15LAMY, ALFRED JOSEPH.—Paris; contemporary. Well-known bow-maker. Imitates style of Voiriu.
17LANDOLFI, CARLO FERDINANDO.—Milan; circa 1740–80. A maker of some importance. His work is fairly plentiful, and the best examples are well finished and exhibit much handsomer material than that employed by most of the Milanese makers. The varnish on such examples is strikingly beautiful. It is of different shades varying between yellowish-red and brown-red. Scrolls not handsome. He is sometimes cited as a follower of Guarneri del Gesù, but there is little or no resemblance to the work of that
