Wow. Stunning. Just curious how many Maggini violins are there still in existence? Must be one of the rarest violins, up there with Gasparo Bertolotti 'da Salò', C. Bergonzi, etc. I've heard there still may be some more Rogeri violins that have been attributed and certified as P. Maggini.
Thanks! That's a very interesting question - they're certainly very rare and the advent of dendrochronology led to some interesting developments in expertise on the Brescian school. Not sure of an exact number I'm afraid - back to the books for us!!
