TANINGARD (TANIGARDI, TANIGHER, TANNENGARD), Giovanni Giorgio Born circa. 1665 Vienna Austria, d.c.1717 Rome Italy. Pupil and son-in-law of A. Platner. Established independently from 1695, occupying the workshop of the lute maker Antonio Giauna near the Oratorio della Caravita. Recorded there until 1714, when the premises were taken over in turn by Michele Toller. Workmanship very much in the style of David Tecchler, with the consequence that many of his original labels have been replaced by false Tecchler tickets depriving him of his rightful status as one of the definitive makers of the Roman school. Violins and especially cellos of broad aspect. Very fine modelling. Broadly spaced and upright Amatis� soundholes. Scrolls a little unrefined with a shortened final turn in contrast to the extended spiral characteristic of Tecchler. Fine richly coloured red-brown varnish. Giorgio Tanigher Fecit in Roma / Anno Domini 1698 [Lebet]
