John Dilworth+

TERMANINI (TERNYANINI), Pietro Worked circa. 1755-1763 Modena Italy. Brother of Giuseppe Termanini, above. Similar work, possibly of slighter better quality overall. Also known for lutes and keyboard instruments.

Cecie Stainer+

Working in Modena, 1755-

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Er war eigentlich Priester, worauf auch das D. (Don) deutet. Seine Violinen haben guten, goldgelben Lack und weichen Ton. Sie sind nicht immer eingelegt und gleichen denen Pietro T.’s.

Henri Poidras+

Good make. Gilt yellow varnish.

Karel Jalovec+

Modena. 1755— 1773. Developed his own model; his violins are of a long shape, rather high arching, have long bouts, short corners. Very fine wood, medium quality workmanship. He applied a hard yellow-brown varnish. With regard to the tone his instruments are fairly good, decidedly better than those of Giuseppe Termanini. Price 12-16.000 Kc.
