![]() Pallotta is from Perugia and 1790 is near the start of his making era. All of the Pallotta's I have seen in person and in picture have Violin corners.

Here is Jeff's copy; ![]() ![]() ![]() I guess it is easy to tell a fake when the Bass itself is nothing like what they are trying to claim and also if they can't even spell the name.

![]() I worked on a Pietro Pallota many years ago. Violin corners, like most Italian basses, very pretty and it sang! I think it was c. 1790?
