Notes:
During the 1790s Joseph in particular, but also his brothers George and Louis, were probably all at some time assisting in the workshop and this violin is typical of the Stradivari model made by Vincenzo around this time. The location pins are still quite large and the blocks and linings are also made from willow but it is unclear whether they are morticed in or not. The edges of the scroll and rib mitres continue to be blackened and the sound-hole wings show typically strong fluting. It proved impossible to date the wood used for the front but it was discovered that the treble side is totally unrelated to the bass side, although it does show a possible same-tree relationship with the bass side of a fine violin by Nicolas Lupot.Panormo – the life and work of Vincenzo and his sons.
