Information is scarce. I have a violin by him that is a very nice folk instrument with a pleasant voice. You can look him up in American Violin Makers _Wenman also I think there is a mention in Henley's book. My fiddle was made in Portland Maine in 1915, I have also played on another that was nice too.I looks to me as though he uses native woods for construction. Rick Lincoln Fiddleshed@aol.com

Roscoe G Hall was a maker in Portland ME in the early 1900's. According to Wenberg the varnish was transparent, he used domestic wood and commercial scrolls. He won a Maine violin makers competition one year.

Where can you find a picture of the first violin ever made?
The first violin made was by Andrea Amati in 1555. There are a few violins of his from that year that would be the actual first violin. A search of "violin Amati 1555" would give you pictures of these instruments.Interestingly, the first instrument in the violin family was not the violin. It was the viola!
Who is Dominicus Montagnana - written inside my violin is Sub Signo Cremonae Venetia 1732 what does this mean?
My grandmother has that same violin in a wooden box that was given to her mother from her aunt (seems like the numbers 32 on the year were handwritten). I am also trying to find information on this instrument.
