----------------------------Original message---------------------------- My office-mate, our music librarian, had a suggestion for the person who asked about violin inscriptions, but an attempt to e-mail the person failed. She recommended Jaques Francais in Manhattan, who is in the business of selling stringed instruments and very knowledgeable. She met him at a World Cello Congress. ooking in the Manhattan yellow pages should find him, since his name is part of his business name. If you have questions, contact Barbara Jeskalian at [log in to unmask] Edith Crowe
