Lorenzo Carcassi Explained

Lorenzo Carcassi was a 1700s Florentine instrument maker.^[1] He often worked with his younger sibling and business partner, Tomaso Carcassi.^{[2] [3]}

He and Tomaso were probably students of Giovanni Baptista Gabrielli, another Florentine instrument maker.^[4] His instruments are played to this day by artists including Gwendolyn Masin (a violin from 1761) and Vito Paternoster (a violoncello from 1792).^[5]
