Biographies
The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:
John Dilworth+
CAPPA, Giuseppe Francesco According to Vannes, quoting Grillet, working in Saluzzo 1600-1640, but this may be a misreading of a Goffredo Cappa label or simply fictional. Otherwise unknown.
Cecie Stainer+
Possibly sons of Giofredo. Were both makers, working in Saluzzio and in Turin about 1661-1712. There are instruments dated 1712, but of no particular merit.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Vielleicht ein Sohn Goffredo’s, — übrigens waren mehrere Nachkommen
Goffredo Cappa’s Geigenmacher, darunter wohl noch ein Goffredo, so dass es
sich erklärt, wenn Geigen mit diesem Namen mit so weit auseinander liegenden
Daten wie 1640 und 1712 vorkommen. Cappa’s Nachkommen waren aber
durchaus unbedeutend, so dass man ihre Arbeiten leicht von den seinen unterscheiden
kann.
