NICHOLAS, ---- Geneva, 1790.
NIGGEL, SYMPERTUS, Paris, about 1650.
NORMAN, BARAK, London, 1690 to 1740. He generally used a monogram
formed of the letters NB. interlaced. This artiste has long been a
favourite, and he certainly made some good instruments, which in the
present day are depreciated below their real worth, as is the case also
with other English makers, whose productions have had to give way
before the prevailing preference for Italian instruments. He was
partner at one time with Nathaniel Cross, and the instruments then made
bear their joint names on the labels.
NORRIS AND BARNES, pupils of Thomas Smith, 1785 to 1818.
NOVELLO, VALENTINO, Venezia, about the middle of 18th Century.
NOVELLO, MARCO ANTONIO, Venezia, same date. Both these makers are in
good esteem.
