Arturo Barini

History

Arturo Barini worked circa 1784 in Mirecourt, France. According to Henley, his work was of slightly better quality than the average commercial Mirecourt output, often following a Tyrolean model. However, this information is unsupported elsewhere, suggesting that the label attributed to him was, in all likelihood, fabricated. The purported label read: "Arturo Barini / Fabricateur de Violon / Mirecourt (Vosges) / France, 1784", as documented by Henley.
