Antonio Guadagnini: 1831-1881, son of Gaetano, worked at Turin and Pesaro. Prolific maker. His instruments are always neatly done, well varnished, generally rather reddish. Logical in all the various thickness of wood. Always a flat model sturdily built on Stradivarian Lines. Age will pass its opinion on the tone and put up the price accordingly. In 1927, tone was of fair responsiveness and useful
power.
