Special Note(s) for this photograph: Though some still argue, it is generally accepted among the connoisseurs who have extensively studied his instruments, that Joseph was not the only one who carved the scrolls for his violins. I believe the “masculine” scroll on “Paganini's Cannon” was the first ever carved by Katarina Guarneri (his wife).
