MikeC Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 I mean, I know it's just a stock image on some website. Stumbled across it while perusing violin stuff on google. But did H. Amati handwrite labels? or would they have been printed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Appleman Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 This is an interesting question! I have seen H. Amati II violins with posthumous Nicola labels, and printed labels with a different wording, mentioning that he was Nicola's son. The wording of this label matches what the Tarisio site says is in the "Bonjour" cello (but no image and no mention if its label is hand-written). 1697 seems to be the year he left Cremona for Piacenza and it's interesting that this label doesn't say where the instrument was made, only that H. Amati was from Cremona. Then again his usual label also only says "Cremonensis," so that might not mean anything. If any of the big-time experts stumble on this thread, and have any observations to share, I'd be curious to read what they have to say!

MikeC Posted August 20 Author Report Share Posted August 20 I looked up Bonjour cello but find that it was made by Stradivari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted August 20 Author Report Share Posted August 20 I added a slightly better image but don't remember where I found it. Should have made a note of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
