アンセルメ・ベロシオ
Pupil of Santo Seraphino. Worked at Venice, 1740-1789.
Instruments occupying a rather insignificant place among the galaxy of renowned Italian makers. Broad and flat model, yet length is sometimes 3/8 inch shorter than usual. Workmanship unequal and often faulty. Intensely-marked pine and pretty maple. Frequently a dull and thick varnish, but occasionally one of a fine deep red-brown. Tone does not impress as being very penetrating, but is large enough for small halls, though its quality is decidedly not overpoweringly captivating. Also produced several ’cellos.
