A dealer whose business primarily revolves around the acquisition of musical instruments. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable regarding violins and an excellent judge of quality, Ferruccio is an honest man. Sellers only in it for the profits dislike him for his accurate appraisals, saying that it's difficult to do business in his presence. Because he is highly trusted by both musicians and shopkeepers alike, an instrument recommended by Ferruccio will go for high price—even if crafted by a no-name artisan.
The word on the street is that any craftsman to whom Ferruccio bestows the title of genius never wants for customers. His mother was a violinist, so he also learned the instrument from a young age, but after determining he lacked the potential to be an amazing musician, he changed course and followed in the footsteps of his father, instead becoming an instrument dealer and appraiser. He currently performs on the side as a hobby, meeting up with his fellow instrumentalists on a monthly basis.
