    GERANI, Paolo early 17th century Cremona Italy. Henley describes violas converted from viola d’amores and viols, without providing sources. Vannes describes work without great value, which seems unlikely for any early Cremonese maker. Presently unverified and probably fictitious. — John Dilworth
