Joannes Baptista Guadagnini
Following the 2011 exhibition at the Parma Galleria Nazionale celebrating the 300th anniversary of Giovanni Battista Guadagnini’s birth, Scrollavezza & Zanrè issues a major publication dedicated to the instruments on display. Some of the finest examples of Guadagnini’s production trace back the phases of the great maker’s career: starting from his first steps in Piacenza, his stay in Milano, the important period in Parma and his later years in Torino. Mainly beautifully pictured by Jan Röhrmann, the instruments are illustrated life-sized, permitting experts and enthusiasts to appreciate all the details and subtleties of Guadagnini’s working methods and style. The publication is enriched with historical and technical essays written by world renowned experts. An extensive table of measurements, studies on arching, thicknesses, material characteristics and varnish will make the book an invaluable source of information. 24 instruments reproduced in 1:1 scale, including violas and cellos. 8 views per instrument: complete front and rear views, top, back and four scroll views in natural size; varnish study in visible and ultraviolet light for fluorescence comparison; advanced studies of selected instruments with frequency response tests and computed tomography allow in-depth insight into the instruments’ materials, structure and acoustics.
