1MILLER, —— London, about 1750.
2MOHR, PHILIP, Hamburg, 1650.
3MONTADE, GREGORIO, Cremona, 1735.
4 Considered to be a pupil of Stradiuarius, but more probably an imitator.
5MONTAGNANA, DOMINICO, Venezia, 1725. This excellent artiste made instruments generally of a large size, and used wood of a large and beautiful figure. The varnish exceedingly brilliant and of a rich yellow or yellow red colour, and the tone everything that can be desired. Mr. Perkins had a violoncello of this make, which was originally sold as a Joseph Guarnerius, and was said in the catalogue to be uncommonly fine and handsome. This is another of those careful artistes, whose productions are now in high esteem when one of the three great masters cannot be obtained, and which will very probably hereafter rank with them and become very famous.
6MORRISON, JOHN, London, 1780 to 1819.
7MORELLA, MORGLATO, Mantua, about 1550. Famous for rebeccs, viols, and viols da gamba.
