Martinjonas has noted in his threads about his Ceccherini that it bears the Alban Voigt label. Mine does as well; and has a number (2302) to boot, written on the bottom left of the label.
The Ceccherini on the Sinier - de Ridder site is also so labelled, and numbered.
Does anyone have any info on this connection? Are these numbers, as I suspect, something to do with the Voigt firm, or are they perhaps some sort of serial number by the maker?
Does anyone, for that matter, have any info on the Alban Voigt firm? Being far from the white cliffs myself, I toss this out in hope that someone more knowledgeable can scratch my itching curiosity.
And Victor, what of your Ceccherini? Any reason to suspect it too comes from Voigt-land?
Of course, there is little of real musical value in this sort of question, but once something like this attracts one's attention, a bit of salve is necessary to soothe the irritation. And I do enjoy having background info on my instruments, for reasons that are doubtless rooted deep in my preconscious makeup, and best left unexamined.
