RE: CELEBRATING 300

Post by CarrollTowerCX »

Well Girls and Boys,

Here is an article from the February, 2012, issue of The Strad. It is on the 300th anniversary of the birth of Guadagnini, the builder of Vanessa-Mae's 1761 Violin, "Gizmo". It was put on by the Italian City of Parma, where Guadagnini had worked for 13 years.

On display were 22 of his instruments.

I hope this bit of ephemera is of some interest.
