Carlo Tononi, Italy, 1721
Carlo Tononi
1721
1721
“Born 1675. Son of Felice. Worked at Bologna, 1695-1720 and at Venice until 1724. Died 1730. . . Splendidly sonorous and noble tone, placing, in penetrative intensity, many others (usually considered to be securely entrenched in this particular quality), into a comparative by-path.” (Universal Dictionary of Violin and Bow Makers)
Francesco Ruggeri 1672
Francesco Ruggeri, Italy, 1672
"Born in Cremona in 1645 and died in 1700. He was a pupil of Nicolo Amati. Characterful individual instruments with relatively long centre bouts and a slightly higher arching than was usual with Nicolo Amati. His violins have a sweet, carrying tone." (Encyclopedia of Violin Makers, Karel Jalovec)

G.B Rugeri 1695
"Giacinto (Giovanni Battista), born in Cremona in 1666 and died in 1698. Son and pupil of Francesco R., with whom he shares much of his style, without quite emulating him. Gacintos model is slightly higher than that of his father, the scrolls are large and beautiful, the f-holes longer and more upright, the varn. of good consistency, but brown and less beautiful. The tone of his instruments is equally sweet and carrying." (Encyclopedia of Violin Makers, Karel Jalovec)
