Giovanni TONONI
Highest auction price achieved
£ 157381.00
Son of Felice. Worked in Bologna till about 1705. Very few instruments of his are to be found; he followed, and at the same time enlarged the pattern of Nicola Amati; his work is superior to that of his father. His violins are slightly arched and have varnish of a beautiful yellow colour; the tone is very fine. A violoncello had the following label: " Joannes de Tononis fecit Bononiae in Platea Paviglionis, anno 17—." Other labels are "Joannes Tononus fecit Bononiae in Platea Pavaglionis, anno Domini, 1690," and " Joannes de Tononis fecit Bononiae, anno 17—."
