Giacomo Zanoli

Violin maker
(c. 1725 – c. 1783)

Giacomo Zanoli was the son of Giovanni Battista Zanoli. Evidence indicated his presence in Venice in 1742, and one cello contained an internal inscription reading 'Padua 1737'. His work was of very fine quality, based on a Stainer-derived model. The arching was of medium height with a somewhat square cross-section. Features ...Read More included small corners, upright soundholes, and a distinctive scroll with a large, nicely symmetrical concentric volute, along with a fairly long, slender pegbox that had a very parallel back face and a narrow chin. His excellent cellos exhibited a powerful Montagnana-like appearance. The varnish was a fine, rich, and transparent golden-yellow brown. Walnut was used for the linings, and large pins were present in both the upper and lower back. Read Less
