Daniel Achatius Stadlmann (1680-1744) founder of the Viennese dynasty of luthiers. He had the title of Court Violin and Lute Maker in 1785. Daniel and his son Johann Joseph (1720-1781) produced viola d’amore, they had the benefits of the finest wood of the trade and high standards for the 7+7 viola d’amore.
A Viola d’amore can be quite a sophisticated wind instrument, by comparison to our believed violin, viola and cello. Take for example Anthony Posch, Vienna ca (1677-147), they seem to be a class of their own.
