Biographies

The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:

John Dilworth+

TRINELLI, Giovanni (I) b. Villalunga, died 1825 Scandiano Italy. Large model. Heavy and unrefined work with poor varnish. Small output. Johannes Trinelli, 1810

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Ein modenesischer Geigenmacher, der sich, wenn er auch nicht sehr sorgfältig arbeitete, immerhin sehr gut darauf verstand, seinen Geigen einen runden, vollen Ton zu verleihen. Er liebte grosses Format, liess das Holz dick, so dass seine Geigen heute gern gekauft werden.

Henri Poidras+

Good class work. Large model a little heavy in wood. Good tone qualities make up for these defects.

Karel Jalovec+

Scandiano. Born at Villalunga, Regio Emilia, died 1815. Worked on a large model. Wood of good resonance, but inferior appearance. The tone of his instruments is good. Price 16.000 Kc.
