UNGARINI, Antonio Worked circa. 1745-1795 Fabriano Italy. Eccentric work. Rather inelegant outline with short corners and very full but low arching. Short broad rib corners in the Brescian manner. Very long narrow and deeply cut nicks to the soundholes, with lower finials of a strong transverse oval form. Diminutive scroll on long pegbox with very open throat. Fine varnish of good colour and texture; amber to red-brown, although at least one cello noted with painted purfling and yellow spirit varnish.

Cecie Stainer+

Was working in Fabriano in 1762.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Ein Violenmacher, den ich bisher nur bei Vidal erwähnt gefunden habe.

Karel Jalovec+

Fabriano. Born March 13, 1696, d. Nov. 7, 1771. Scanty evidence of his work. Judging from the build of his good instruments he may have been either a pupil or a collaborator of Stradivari.
