However, his work may no longer have been steady, as he was 59 and had only worked a few weeks the previous year.

In a 1946 news article, De Pace was named responsible for supplying fretted instrument players to the opera, when such were needed, himself playing the mandolin. Artists he worked with include Enrico Caruso, Mario Lanza and Ezio Pinza.
