His instruments sometimes bear a label that specifies he was an “alumnus” or “student of his father,” such as “Gastone Bargelli di Giuseppe, allievo del Padre fece in Firenze anno 1932.” This indicates he worked under his father’s tutelage. He made violins, violas, and cellos. His instruments are often noted for their golden-brown or reddish-brown varnish and a warm, rich tone.
