interesting article on an unusual subject, well sourced. Fact: "hundreds of organs" - reading the source, it could also mean that the family built them, not he personally. Hook: there is no indication of what he did when, intentionally so? (If you don't read Italian, you don't even get that he was dedicated to organs.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:59, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Great catch on fact. Not sure why I interpreted it that way. Thank you, corrected. Regarding hook, I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for. He suffered a stroke sometime around the year 1600. His most important publication was published in 1608. I was trying to make the hook interesting by showing productive output subsequent to an event which is often career-ending. I am quite open to suggestions. Thanks! 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 00:13, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

I understand that you want to keep the time a secret, to also attract readers who would not be interested in anything 17th century, right. Topic the same? - I am open to accept that, that's why I asked if it is intentional.
