本資料庫收藏： Violin (1720)
Spirito Sorsana was a luthier in the 18th century in the Piedmont school. He was born in the northwestern Italian city of Cuneo, but the exact year is unknown. He is thought to be a student of Gioffredo Cappa when Cappa was in Mantua, because Sorsana’s instruments display certain features that appear in the early instruments Cappa made.
Sorsana worked in Cuneo his entire life. Both Sorsana and Giovanni Francesco Celoniati closely followed the way Cappa made instruments. The arches of Sorsana’s instruments are more prominent than those of Cappa’s instruments, and the purfling was improved by shortening the ends, which is similar to Celoniati’s methods. The material used, the single back plate, the lines of the scrolls are all representative of the Piedmont school. Not very many of his intruments have survived, and most of the ones that did were made between 1714 and 1740. The shape of the body follows those made by Stradivari, which differs from his contemporaries, who followed the shapes and structures of Amati.
