A Maggini?? Really???? I might as well drukke mej i närmste sjö, then, because I'll be hedgehogged if it looks like any Maggini I've ever seen a photo of.

edit: Oh, it's called a Maggini by the Verband Schweizerischer Geigenbaumeister. They must have meant some other Maggini, who perhaps lives in Südtirol and normally makes cuckoo clocks.
