本資料庫收藏： Violin (1756)
A second generation member of the Gagliano family, Nicola Gagliano was a famous 18th century luthier from Naples. He studied with his father Alessandro, and was a highly creative person within his family. Although the span of time he made instruments was quite long, most historians believe that he made most of them between 1750 and 1770. He used high-quality wood such as maple, and the plates he made are increasingly thin. The instruments he made are of a very high quality, but his craftsmanship is not considered to be of the elegant kind. He paid particular attention to the purfling. The size of the swirls for the scrolls is not consistent. The peg holes are quite small. The upper part of the F-holes is relatively narrow. The varnish he used is a clear golden color, which at times is more of a golden brown or a reddish orange. The timbre of his instruments is very full, but not all that sweet. Some of the violins that have their original labels show that he worked together with his son. Nicola was greatly influenced by Stradivari. Most of the instruments he made which have survived are those he made with his younger brother Gennaro Gagliano (fl. c. 1740 – c. 1780).
