Antonio Maria fece in Milano in Contrada Larga 17—

Cecie Stainer+

A maker in Milan about 1700. Followed the Stradivari pattern, used a good varnish, pale red colour.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Seine Arbeit ist recht gut, ebenso der dicke, röthliche Lack. In der Wölbung erinnern seine Geigen, die übrigens nur selten vorkommen, an das Stradivari-Modell. — Lacasso für Lavazza zu lesen, ist falsch. Er soll übrigens schon 1674 vorkommen.
