GABRIELLE, GIOVANNI, BAPTISTA, Florence, 18th Century, considered to be
a good Maker.
GAGLIANO, or GALIANO, ALESSANDRO, Naples, about 1710, is generally
reckoned as one of the pupils of Stradiuarius, but was more probably
only one of his imitators. He made some good instruments of the
Stradiuarius model, which possess a bright and sparkling tone; they
are, however, generally characterised by less power of tone,
Stradiuarius having in this particular the advantage over nearly all
his imitators, some of his personal pupils being perhaps the only
exceptions.
NOTE.--M. Fetis commences the line of the Gaglianos with Nicolo, 1700,
ten years earlier than Alessandro, whom he also calls Gennaro, and
ranks him as a maker formed under one of the immediate pupils of
Stradiuarius.
