These makers produced some very good but not handsome instruments.
Lindley is said to have had a Violoncello by one of the Grancinos, the
tone of which was very fine and powerful, with light yellow varnish
darkened by age; the wood of back and sides very plain, but the belly
very fine.
GROBITZ, ---- Warsaw, about 1750. Made some good instruments of the
Steiner model.
GUERSAN, ---- Paris. An excellent maker, small model, careful finish,
and fine tone; about 1730.
GUGEMMOS, ---- Fissen, Bavaria.
GUIDANTUS, GIOVANNI FLORENUS, Bologna, about 1750. An excellent maker.
GULETTO, NICHOLAS, Cremona, about 1790.
GUADAGNINI, LORENZO, Cremona, 1690 to 1720. Pupil of Stradiuarius and
highly esteemed as a maker. Followed the style of his celebrated
teacher.
Guadagnini is one of the makers especially recommended by Spohr when
one of the three great masters cannot be procured. A good specimen of
his work will always command a good price.
GUADAGNINI, LORENZO, Placentia and Milan, 1742. Made instruments
generally of the smaller model. Was a careful workman and finished his
instruments well, and used good varnish.
GUADAGNINI, BAPTISTA. Same places and about same dates, and made
similar instruments.
