WUNDERLICH.—Markneukirchen; nineteenth century. Several of the name.
ZACH, Thomas.—Budapest, Vienna. Born 1812; died 1892. He was a very fine workman. His copies of Stradivari and Guarneri are beautifully made and take high rank amongst modern productions. The varnish on many of them is of excellent quality. A son, Carl Zach, invented a process for impregnating the wood of his instruments to improve the tone. Judging by examples seen by the writer it did not have the desired effect.
ZACHER, Franz.—Ingoldstadt; early eighteenth century. High built instruments. Careful work and handsome wood. Specimens scarce.
ZANETTO.—Brescia; late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. His name appears to have been Peregrino, or Pelegrino, Michelis di Zanetto, but he is usually referred to as “Zanetto.” He certainly made violas of the large, or “Tenore” class, but as to what other instruments of a type now in use he really made there seems to be some doubt. Messrs George Withers and Sons possess a viola of his make.
ZANFI, Giacomo.—Modena. Born 1756; died about 1822. According to labels was a music teacher who made violins and larger instruments.
ZANOLI, Gio. Battista.—Verona; 1730-57 Seemingly a mediocre maker.
ZANOLI, Giacomo.—Venice, Padua, Verona; about 1740-60.
ZANOTTI, Antonio.—Mantua; eighteenth century.
ZANTI, Alessandro.—Late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Worked in Mantua. Work well finished. Chiefly Stradivari pattern.
ZWERGER.—Mittenwald; eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A family of makers of Mittenwald origin. Several of them worked in Neuberg.
