Superior maker - also worked in Dublin. "Old Panormo" Don\'t believe 1740 date.
Vincenzo Panormo was probably born Vincenzo Trusiano. The name Panormo is the latinised form of Palermo, and he is thought to have adopted it after he left Sicily. Panormo almost certainly learned the craft of violin making in Naples, where he was living in the 1760s, and has long been assumed to have been a pupil of one of the Gaglianos. Little is known about his early life, but we do know for certain that he moved to Paris and was actively making instruments there in the 1770s and 1780s. He left Paris in 1789, no doubt as a result of the revolution, and moved to the safety of London, where he remained for the rest of his life, except for a short period spent in Dublin in 1791-2. Today Panormo\'s instruments are generally considered to be English, although his best work does show a certain Italian flair. His main influences were Stradivari and Amati . His skilled craftsmanship and fine choice of materials contribute to his reputation as the finest English maker of his day, and arguably the finest of all the English makers.
