    • 2007 June 3, Ian Fisher, “Fingers That Keep the Most Treasured Violins Fit”, in New York Times[1]:
      Every morning, Mr. Mosconi, the city’s official musical conservationist, stands before pristine, multilocked glass cases and faces three violins by the Amatis (one of the first makers of the modern violin, from the mid-16th century), two by the Guarneris and four instruments — three violins and a cello — by Stradivari.
