Detail Introduction
Worked at Quittenbach near Klingenthal, 1730-1780. Member of the violin maker’s Guild at Neukirchen. Not an attractive model, little grace runs through the harmony of its broad lines. There is no conflict of opinion with regard to the poorly conceived sound-holes, which seem to be the work of a noviatiate. Yet, the scroll is splendidly posed and carved. Fairly good quality brown varnish of dark and light tints, sometimes having a touch of red. Frequently fine grain spruce, and rather pretty figured maple. One piece bellies usually, as well as one piece backs. Excellent tone if not exercised by the bravura player. £25. ShopsDiscussion board forHopf,David Christian |
