Carlo Giuseppe Testore

Carlo Giuseppe Testore

Carlo Giuseppe Testore (c 1665 - 1716) was an Italian luthier who worked in his later life in Milan. He was born at Novara.

Testore is noted in particular for his double basses. One of his basses was owned and played upon by noted bassist Giovanni Bottesini. Currently, Yuri Bashmet, widely accepted as the greatest violist alive plays a Testore instrument. National Arts Centre Orchestra principal cellist Amanda Forsyth uses a Testore cello manufactured in 1699.
