Excerpt from Violins and Violin Makers: Biographical Dictionary of the Great Italian Artistes, Their Followers and Imitators, to the Present Time, With Essays on Important Subjects Connected With the Violin The Violin is an instrument which, though small and of trifling original cost, has yet commanded most extraordinary prices.
