Biographies
John Dilworth
BAIRHOFF, Giorgio Born 1712 Füssen Germany, died 1763 Naples Italy. Active in Naples from c.1740. It is not clear whether he worked directly for any of the Gagliano family, but their influence on his work is evident, particularly in the form of the scroll and the purfling materials. By no means the equal of the Gaglianos themselves, or Thomas Eberle, he brought some Füssen elements to his style, which reveals rather boxy flat arching with a pronounced edge flute and large crudely cut soundholes. Generally dull golden brown varnish and plain materials. The name is frequently found in anonymous German work. Giorgio Bairhoff fecit / Napoli 1758
