Famous Violin Maker.

Joseph Guarnieri was a member of
a family Of celebrated violin makers in
>Cremona, Italy. He was active in
his work from 1890 to 1870. His violins
are usually partly identified by a stain
ior sapmark in the belly running paral-
;lel with the finger board on either
side. They were noted for their tone
producing powers, fact which has
stimulated the sale Of spurious violins
with his forged inscription.
