Notes:
Although considered to be by Vincenzo, this violin is signed ‘J.P.’ in ink on the top block, denoting Joseph’s input into the family workshop before he established his own business around 1800. Similar violins have sometimes been signed with his full name on the the top block rather than simple initials. As the hand of Joseph becomes more apparent, the location pins reduce in size to approximately 2 mm and, unlike Vincenzo’s earlier work, they are often partially covered by the purfling. The blocks and linings are both made of willow with the C-bout linings let into the corner blocks. Once again, the two sides of the front are totally unrelated.Panormo – the life and work of Vincenzo and his sons.
