Violin Makers Named Hopf
The Hopf name is stamped on a vast number of undistinguished violins, an inestimable quantity of which are unauthentic. Any violin so marked should be viewed skeptically until confirmed by a recognized expert.
Dictionaries of violin makers list as many as eighteen makers by this name. The most celebrated among them are Caspar (1650-1711) and David (1762-86), both of whom lived in Klingenthal, Germany. While there are some minor variations amongst members of the Hopf family, all of them used the same design (dubbed the "Hopf model").
从Universal Dictionary of Violin and Bow makers得到的情报
HOPF.
Thousands of commonplace violins stamped with this name. Trade mark of many manufacturers. Name sometimes burnt into the instrument below the bottom and sometimes impressed on sealing wax placed in the same position.
丹尼老师说,HOPF有位成功的先祖叫Caspar(1650出身),之后有十几位姓HOPF的制作家。也许是由于其中一些人的成功,后来许多大量生产的琴用了他们的名字,就像成千上万的Stradivary或者Jacob Stainer一样。
