Notes:
"We consider this J. F. a rarity for its modeling is completely Stradivarian. When in 1952 W. E. Hill & Sons examined it and authenticated it as a Pressenda, it still was labelled Stradivari and apparently up to that time had been considered a genuine Stradivarius."World of Strings, Spring, 1972, World of Strings, Spring, 1972, Philadelphia
