Rasi 2016 (Marais solo); Rasi 2000 (Marais); Rasi 2014 (CPE Bach); Rasi 1992 (JS Bach)
Bought in 1983 with cello neck; restored with 6 strings by Guy Derat (Paris) in 1984; converted to 7 strings by Franco Giraud (Florence) in 1990. Label undated but must be 19th century: Raffaele lived c. 1790-1857, Antonio (II) 1778-1860. Also used on ensemble recordings by Accademia Strumentale Italiana, including Rasi 2014a (Concerto di Viole, played by Leonardo Bortolotto) and others not explicitly documented.
