Karel Jalovec+

Rome. Ca 1797. A violin maker, unknown until recent time. Only one violin by him is known, a specimen of wonderful perfection, coated with yellow-brown varnish. The instrument has a peculiar shape of its own, most pleasing to the eye; the sound-holes are gracefully cut. It is unknown whether he was a violin-maker or a self taught fancier of the craft, but his workmanship shows the assured touch of a master.
