Gaspard Diuffopruggar ( inside label reads Gaspard Diuffo pruggar bonamillio anno 1516) Full Size, Head Scroll Violin "Records show no real violin maker named Gaspard Duiffopruggar, or many of the other spellings, ever made a violin like this. The concept of this violin was made using a Brescian pattern and the head of a man, there are not real violins from the 1600s by Gaspard D., all of of these style instruments are 19th century or later, and mostly French. These violins were made by the top French makers of the day, many being made for the Vuillaume shop. Some makers of these instruments that I have seen are: Derazey, Collin-Mezin, Mirecourt Shop, and unsigned French makers. These violins are a large scale pattern, with long back length." Mid 1800s, Derazey , j. b. Vuillaume , Jerome Thibouville Lamy shop violin. Latin around perimeter that translates : "I was living in the forest, Living I was mute, Dead I sweetly sing!"
