Biographies

John Dilworth

PEDRINELLI, Antonio Born 1781, died 1854 Crespano Italy. Prolific maker. Models and copies of many classical Italian makers. Produced work in various grades, with varying levels of finish and materials. Some work has poor beech used for the backs and broad grained coarse pine for the fronts. Others of finely figured maple and good straight grained spruce. Red to orange-brown varnish, of good texture and consistency. Often left a gap in the purfling beneath the button on the back in order to maintain strength in the area of the neck foot. Scrolls generally rather weak. Fine cellos and double basses. Gold medal awarded in Venice 1854.
