From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carlo Giuseppe Testore (c 1665-1716) was a luthier who worked in his later life in Milan Italy. Testore is noted in particular for his double basses. One of his basses was owned and played upon by noted bassist Giovanni Bottesini. Currently, National Arts Centre Orchestra principal cellist Amanda Forsyth plays a Testore cello manufactured in 1699.[1][2] His two sons, Carlo Antonio Testore and Paolo Antonio Testore, also worked as luthiers in Milan.
