Maud Powell removed from Guad list

Maud Powell's instrument was not a Guadagini, but an excellent forgery by Gemunder. See reference here http://www.cozio.com/Instrument.aspx?id=2699 — Preceding unsigned comment added by UnkleFester (talk • contribs) 08:02, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Wills

In the Bob Wills piece there appears the following: "About this time Wills purchased and performed with an old Guadagnini violin that had once fetched $7,600 for $1,600, the equivalent of about $24,000 in 2009.[12] [28]" You may want to add him to the roster of Badagnani players, unless you can't stand to have the author of "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas" and "Ida Red Likes the Boogie" associated with names like Joseph Joachim and Eugene Ysaye...

Just reading "San Antonio Rose" and so added Wills to the list. It's described as 157 yrs old, bought in 1941 so i assumed 1784. Says he bought for $3000, later giving it away and buying another for $5000. Can't find any info about where that fiddle is today, and whether or not the second was also a Guadagnini, though. --Notneils (talk) 18:50, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Geringas' instrument

I can't find appropriate citations for the identity of David Geringas' cello - his page states that it was built in Parma but this is as unverified as the information here. As such, I have removed both locations until either can be proven. Fascinoma (talk) 01:00, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Emiliano or Italian?

As it currently stands the lead reads "Giovanni Battista Guadagnini (or G. B. Guadagnini; Giambattista Guadagnini); (June 23, 1711 – September 18, 1786) was an Emiliano luthier, regarded[by whom?] as one of the finest craftsmen of string instruments in history."

My point of conjecture is that Emiliano be replaced by Italian in reference to his nationality. This seems to be standard in other articles in reference to historical figures who lived before the unification of their respective modern countries. For instance the article on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe describes him as German and the article on Dante calls him Italian. If there are no objections I will alter the article to reflect this practice. IrishStephen (talk) 18:00, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mari Silje Samuelsen

According to the Samuelsen siblings' website (http://www.samuelsenmusic.com), Norwegian violinist Mari Silje Samuelsen plays a fine G. B. Guadagnini (Turin 1773) on loan from Anders Sveaas charitable foundation, Oslo. Her Wikipedia pages in Norwegian, Spannish, Czech also mention it (https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari_Silje_Samuelsen, https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari_Silje_Samuelsen, https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari_Silje_Samuelsen).
