Ginislao Paris
Ginislao Paris (1852-after 1917) was an Italian composer and musician in Tsarist Russia who played trombone with the Russian Imperial Opera Orchestra in St. Petersburg. He also played mandolin, founding the first mandolin orchestra in Russia, ''The society of amateur Mandolinists and Guitarists'' in the 1880s. That orchestra was important because it inspired Vassily Andreev, to form the first orchestra based on Russian instruments. Paris invented a specialized mandolin which was named for him (''Sistema Ginislao Paris'') and built by the workshops of Luigi Embergher. The Paris Ginislao mandolins feature a double top (a second hollow space within the instrument, created by a false back between the soundboard and the instrument's back). The double top is a feature that mandolin makers are now experimenting with in the 21st century, to get better sound. Mandolinists such as Avi Avital and Joseph Brent use them, and they are custom instruments, today. In 1905, Roman luthier Luigi ...
