John Dilworth+
ZANTI, Alessandro Worked circa. 1765-1820 Mantua Italy. Possibly a descendant of Antonio Zanotti, above. Henley, following Vannes, describes instruments combining Pietro Guarneri and Stradivari features but with poor brown varnish. Work presently unknown and unverified. Alexander Zanti fecit / Manyuae Anno 1819
Cecie Stainer+
A maker in Mantua about 1770. He followed the Stradivari pattern, but his varnish was of poor quality.
George Hart+
He copied Pietro Guarneri, but had little knowledge of varnishing, if we are to judge from the few instruments of this maker extant.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er arbeitete nach den Modellen von Stradivari und Pet. Guarneri. Seine Arbeit ist gut, ebenso der Ton; nur sein Lack ist geradezu schlecht zu nennen. Auch ein Domenico Zanti kommt in Mantua vor.
Henri Poidras+
Stradivarius model. Although the varnish is not interesting, the tone is fine. Medium class work.
Karel Jalovec+
Mantua. 1765—1819. Beautiful, careful workmanship on the patterns of Stradivari and Pietro Guarneri. The arching is often designed in a somewhat roof-like fashion. Fine wood, sweet tone. He used a red-brown varnish which is not of good quality. Price 40.000 Kc.
