Credited with 200 violins, 200 violas, 80 cellos, and eight double-basses, many carrying the label of Soffritti; also some with apparently anachronistic dates. Stradivari and Guarneri models; others based on Guadagnini and Testore. Very fine golden-yellow varnish on reddish base. Orselli Enrico / discepolo di Soffritti Ettore / da Ferrara fece in Pesaro 1949
