Dorigo SPILMAN

John Dilworth

SPILMAN, Dorigo Cello in the Kunsthistorische Museum, Vienna (ex Catajo collection in Padua). Unauthenticated instrument with manuscript label. Vannes speculates that his surname is a transliteration of ‘Spielman’ (‘musician’), and that he was active in Padua, and possibly Venice, making pochettes, none of which have survived. No known documentary support. Dorigo Spilman

Cecie Stainer

There is a viol of his in the Modena Museum in Vienna; it looks like the work of a Venetian, and probably dates back to the 16th century. The sound-holes are similar to those of V. Linarolo, the scroll looks as if it had been added at a later date. ” Dorigo Spilman ” is written inside, but no date.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff

In einer Laute des Museums Modena in Wien, die der Arbeit Linarolo’s gleicht, findet sich die Inschrift: »Dorigo Spilman« (ohne Datum). Dorigo ist jedenfalls der Name und Spilman die Bezeichnung des Standes (»Spielmann- Musiker«). Ein Dorigo wäre also als der Eigenthümer der Laute und freilich vielleicht auch als ihr Verfertiger anzusehen.

Karel Jalovec

Padua. 1591. Very little remains of his works, e. g., a ‘cello of fine wood and with brown varnish.
