Detail Introduction
Son and pupil of William (2). Known as “Young Forster”. Born in London, 1764. Died 1824. Amatese modelling often quite similar to that favoured by father. Workmanship variable and erratic, but as neat as possible when he chose to exercise care. Tonal quality often really sweet, sonorous, and very responsive. Brownish red varnish, lustrous and transparent. ’Cellos sometimes have some affinity to Stradivarian principles, and are especially fine-toned. Produced a few double-basses, which he let out on hire. Generally of indifferent workmanship and shaped almost like a ’cello. Violas, body length generally 15-1/2 inches. Sometimes signed above or below tailpin.
