Certificates & Documents

• Certificate: John Dilworth (2006) ". . . The head is in my opinion an authentic product of the Stradivari workshop. Although on stylistic grounds it may be the work of Antonio's son, Francesco, this does not exclude the possibility that it is the original head made for the instrument."
• Certificate: John & Arthur Beare, London (1976) "[. . .] the significant details of the workmanship showing only the hand of Antonio himself."
• Certificate: Rembert Wurlitzer Inc., New York, NY (1973) Attributes the head to "later workmanship".
