Notes:
"There are two examples of violins purported to be by Marchi in the Hamma book, and I believe that Charles Beare shares your [Mr. Draley's] suspicions about one of them [this one]. That one has a model that is very close to Stainer."The Manuscript on Violin Making by G. A. Marchi, 1786, Roberto Regazzi, Journal of the Violin Society of America, Vol. IX, No. 1, Flushing, NY
