I believe it may be GUARNIERI which I found on Google, but I did enter it with some trepidation.

I noticed that as an Italian family name but the violin makers were definitely Guarneri.

I'll have to write a letter to The Times!

I agree. Put my name on your letter too haha

Here's the reply.🙂

Thank you very much for your email.

I must thank you for drawing this regrettable error to our attention. As it it not possible to enter a word or name in the space that would be correct answer to the clue, we will accept any entry at 48 across as a valid answer for the purposes of the competition, and will add a note under this week's Concise Jumbo to that effect.

Please accept our apologies for this slip.

Well done, Maydup 🙂

Makes you wonder if the setter read the name incorrectly while collating the clues, or just made an 8 letter space by accident. A decision was made, as they say.

FleshpotsOfDevon

Or even 9 letters haha

I found quite a few websites which use both spellings- mainly Guarneri but sometimes Guarnieri within the same paragraph/page
