A highly interesting and valuable book on this influential early Brescian maker. Excerpt from Paolo His Life and Work His work forms the third of the series Of publications undertaken by Messrs. Hill with the View of throwing new light upon the history of the Violin and its makers. As great interest attaches on many grounds to the Brescian school, and very little trustworthy information respecting it has hitherto been available, it seemed desirable to deal with it early in this series. With great energy and insight Messrs. Hill initiated and directed searches at Brescia and elsewhere, which, ably carried out by Signor Cavaliere Giovanni Livi, Director of the Brescian State Archives, and Signor Federico Sacchi, have brought to light a large number of most interesting and important facts concerning many makers of the Brescian school. vg condition. £59.50

Michetschläger,Helen Ed.: Notes and articles from the workshop of Koen Padding. Hardback, very good condition. Review in The Strad, Joe Robson, February 2016: 'Violin Varnish, Notes and Articles from the Workshop of Koen Padding', by Helen Michetschläger: It is not just the 'secrets' of classical varnish making that have been lost over the centuries; beyond the valuable contents of this book is an underlying understanding that is Padding's great contribution to violin making: he gave us a language that had been lost. Padding compiled a set of terms that paralleled the application process: priming, sealing, grounding, painting and varnishing. Whether one is using his own self-titled 'Byzantine System' or any other varnishing sequence, his terminology applies. Prior to his work the discussion of varnish and varnishing was at a loss for words. His works set out terms for discussing varnish, varnishing, and observing varnish that have become accepted and invaluable additions to the lexicon of the violin trade. Helen Michetschläger's book is an essential text on the subject of violin varnish.Sold
Möller, Max (vader en zoon): Italiaanse vioolbouw van Gaspar da Salo tot Pressenda. beknopt overzicht van ontstaan en ontwikkeling der vioolbouw in Italië (ex Georg Ullmann)
(Italian violin making from Gaspar da Salo to Pressenda.brief overview of the origins and development of violin making in Italy) Amsterdam : Max Möller (Moller), 1938, viii, 61 pp., 39 photo plates, HB board, text in Dutch. Limited edition No. 630 of 1000. incl. small errata slip.
Authors: Paul Max ( Senior) Möller und Guillaume Max (Max jnr.) Möller.
With a nice signed dedication to Georg Ullmann ( Georgius Ullmannius, Violin maker in Zürich ) by the author(s) on the first title page.
Condition: a very good tight copy with some light foxing, bumped corners and marks to the external boards.
The dedication reads (in German): Unserem Lieben Kollegen, Herrn Greg Ullmann in Anerkennung u. gut Erinnerung an angenehmen gemeinsam verbrachten Stunden. Amsterdam, Juni 1942, Max Möller ( and another signature, likely the son Max Jnr. ).
(Translation: Our dear Colleague Georg Ullmann in recognition and good memories of pleasurable hours spent together).
( J.Dilworth: "ULLMANN, Georg Born 1879 Bad-Elster, died 1946 Zurich Switzerland. Trained in Markneukirchen with E. R. Schmidt. Worked for Kurth and Möckel in Berlin, Dvorak in Prague, and Degani in Venice. Established independently in Milan from 1903 and worked for the conservatoire there, while maintaining his influence with the Dvorak company. Moved to Turin 1919 and finally to Zurich 1921. Stradivari-derived models. Fine craftsmanship. Pale golden-brown to red varnish, slightly opaque. Georgius Ullmann / fecit Mediolani 1905 Georgius Ullmannius / fecit Turicum 1920" ).
The introduction page, Google translated:: "We've often been asked for a popular, preferably Dutch, work that offered a concise yet comprehensive overview of early Italian violin making, and which, moreover, was not as expensive as existing works on the subject. Much as we regretted it, we always had to disappoint those who requested it: such a booklet simply did not exist. Now, on the 25th anniversary of our shop, we consider it a fitting moment to publish this work. It is an overview, presented as concisely and as popularly as possible, of the work of the great Italian masters, illustrated with photographs of instruments that have all been part of our collection or, insofar as the name of the current owner is not mentioned, are still in our possession. It would take us too far afield to provide a complete list of everything that has belonged to our collection over the years; doing so would, moreover, compromise the desired clarity. We therefore reproduce only one typical example from each maker; only for Stradivari and G.B. Guadagnini do we make an exception, for reasons to be explained later. A word of thanks to Father Camelle, the Municipal Archivist of Cremona and such a versatile art connoisseur, is certainly necessary here. He was always willing to assist us in the most helpful way, not only during our visits to Cremona but also whenever we otherwise sought his advice. We sincerely hope that this work will be of benefit to many Dutch violin enthusiasts and contribute to further increasing interest in violin making".
Each pictured instrument's back, treble side and front view is shown on 2 pages.
