Notes
- "These facts are contained in the biographical story 'Joseph Joachim, ein Lebensbild' written by Paul Moser, in the first chapter. Moser was a pupil and close friend of Joachim, with whom he collaborated in the preparation of the biography. In the first edition of the work (Berlin 1899-?-) he refers to the violin as an Andreas Amati, in the later edition (1908) as a Petrus Guarneri, the change having probably been due to the opinion given by the Berlin dealer an connoisseur Hammig who did most of Joachim's repair work during his later years."

Letter: J. & A. Beare, London, September 17, 2007. "This is to confirn that we have examined the violin labelled Pietro Guarneri with the date 1747, and are of the opinion that the body of the instrument is original. The front has been completely re-edged and repurfled, an inexplicable repair that one sometimes sees, but the soundholes are just what one expects from a late Peter Guarneri of Venice. The scroll is not original."
