Biographies

The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:

John Dilworth+

TERMANINI (TERNYANINI), Giuseppe Worked circa. 1750-1770 Modena Italy. Priest and amateur luthier. Unrefined work, often unpurfled. Fine golden-yellow varnish. D. Joseph Termanini / fecit Mutinae a: 1755 opus No. 5

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Er war eigentlich Priester, worauf auch das D. (Don) deutet. Seine Violinen haben guten, goldgelben Lack und weichen Ton. Sie sind nicht immer eingelegt und gleichen denen Pietro T.’s.

Henri Poidras+

Brother of Pietro Ternyanini. Same work.

Karel Jalovec+

Modena. 1755— 1773. He worked well, but did not attain the quality of the instruments built by Pietro Termanini. The tone of his instruments is soft, but without power. Probably Pietro’s brother and collaborator.
