Gasparo da Salò (family name, Bertolotti)
Gasparo da Salò (family name, Bertolotti), Italian instrument maker; b. Polpenazzi (baptized in Salo, May 20), 1540; d. Brescia (buried), April 14, 1609. He went to Brescia in 1562, and settled there as a maker of viols, viole da gamba, and contrabass viols, which gained much celebrity; his violins were less valued. His pupils were his eldest son, Francesco, Giovanni Paolo Maggini, and Giacomo Lafranchini. Dragonetti’s favorite double bass was an altered ’Viola contrabassa” of Gaspare’s.
