first i thought it was a mistaking with pallotta and pallotton too, but it seems to be really "Peto Pallatton" (sounds a little hungarian to me...)


Peto Pallatton fecit
Anno 1790 Parigm?

Lightbulb ok, ok..

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 are two of them;




On Jeff's copy, he will have to say which bass is was he used as he has seen a few himself. 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. Using a Hungarian translation of the Italian/Latin name is also a dead giveaway.. lol

ken, thanks for the quick reply with the many pics.
well, they look not like the "Pallatton"

maybe it comes from the "Balaton".... http://maps.google.de/maps?hl=de&tab=wl
sorry, the link does not work, you can type "Balaton" in the search window.

Default Pietro Pallota

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?
