Re: Help identifying this "Jul. Heinr. Zimmerman" mandolin
Here is a JH Zimmerman bowl I have in my files with a very Neapolitan / Vinaccian-derived look about it.
Doesn't quite match any of the '99 catalog images but isn't too far removed from them, either.
Do we think Herr Zimmerman made his mandolins or marketed others?
I note the "von Meglio" model on page 2 of Jim's post.
Interestingly, the model shown has a baroque split pediment headstock that we've seen on Ceccherini mandolins..but I don't recall on seeing on Meglios, either De_ or Michele. Maybe there were others?
This one here with the "ahorn" wood bowl.
