Dario D'Attili definitively verbally ascribed this instrument on June 27, 1992 from Wintergarden, Florida, as Domenico Busan 1760. The instrument was sent to him and he replied with phone call. With deference, Alex Zoltai of Pongracz Music based his appraisal upon D'Attili's estimation. That estimation was not negated by Christophe Landon or apparently Charles Beare, who together saw the instrument, along with Marianne Wurlitzer, on April 23rd, 1996. Landon has continued to study the instrument through 2008. (Documentation exists for all; owner is in process of compiling a Provenance that includes the Countess Elsa von Moltke's solo career on the instrument.
