A maker in Verona about 1730; his instruments are roughly finished, they are not arched, and suggest German work. Label: “ Joannes Baptista Zanoli, Verona, 17—.”
George Hart+
Flat model; rough workmanship; German character. Joannes Baptista Zanola, Verona, 17—
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Mittelmässiger Geigenmacher, dessen rohe Arbeit wenig Italienisches an sich hat. Er wendet ein ziemlich flaches Modell an und hat einen schlechten Lack.
Henri Poidras+
Work more German than Italian. Flat model.
Karel Jalovec+
Venice, Verona. Instruments known from 1720 on. A very assiduous master who worked very carefully on various models. His instruments are noted for their flat arching, oval scrolls, and small, not always uniform, sound-holes. Good tone; brown-yellow varnish.
