1AND VIOLIN MAKERS
3ODOARDI, GIUSEPPE.—Ascoli. Born 1746; date of death not ascertained. One Italian writer says he died at the age of 28, but this seems to be incorrect. He seems to have experimented with different kinds of wood. Writer has not met with examples of his work.
5ÖHBERG, JOHANNES.—Stockholm; circa 1760–90.
7OLRY, J.—Amiens; to about 1850. Stradivari pattern; good work. Dark-red varnish. He worked with Georges Chanot I.
9OMOND, JAMES.—Stromness. Born 1833. A Scottish maker of more than average ability. Has made a large number of instruments.
11ORTEGA, ASENSIO.—Madrid. Died about 1835. A maker and repairer, who has earned unenviable notoriety by tinkering with the famous violoncello made by Stradivari for the Spanish Court.
13OSTLER, ANDREAS.—Breslau; eighteenth century. Pretty work and handsome wood. Yellow or yellow-brown varnish. Stainer pattern.
15OTTO.—Makers of this name worked all over Germany and elsewhere. About twenty of them are mentioned by von Lütgendorff, who devotes several pages to them. The only member of the family of much interest to English readers is JAKOB AUGUST, who died in 1829, and was the author of the well-known book on the violin.
17OUVRARD, JEAN.—Paris; eighteenth century. Pupil of Pierray, whom he imitated to some extent. Work seldom seen.
