Er nennt sich einen Schüler Maggini’s. Man kann seiner Angabe wohl Glauben schenken, wenn auch seine Arbeit nicht dafür spricht. Sein Modell ist sehr hoch gewölbt, der Lack meist dunkelbraun, das Holz aber fast immer recht gut gewählt. Seine Zettel haben kleine Druckfehler.
Cecie Stainer+
A maker in Florence about 1630-70. Little is known about him, but according to his label he was a pupil of Maggini. His instruments are very rare.
