By George Hart

His Violins and Violoncellos were made with care, and show that he possessed some amount of originality. They are not after the pattern of his father's instruments and similar to those earlier works of Stradivari which come between the true " Amatese" and the long form. The varnish is of a deeper colour than of Alessandro's, and its quality is not inferior. The scroll is, in some cases, well formed, in others somewhat grotesque. The model is high. They are sometimes seen ornamented round the purfling with ebony, diamond and lozenge shape.
