Notes:
Another late example made to the same proportions as 73271 and featuring a large overhang with even heavier modelling, this violin displays very different characteristics to those signed by Joseph. The full pegbox with blackened bevels and the straight cut into the eye of the scroll are both typical of these later instruments, but the purfling is notably bold. The blocks and particularly high linings are made of willow with the C-bout linings let into the corner blocks. The dendrochronology report was unable to date the wood used for the front, but it appears to have been purchased in France as it is a same-tree match for a violin made by Vincenzo in Paris.Panormo – the life and work of Vincenzo and his sons.
