Detail Introduction
Son of Johann Georg. Born at Smichow near Prague, 1740. Studied and worked With Ulrich Eberle. for several years. Virtuoso on the lute and mandoline, also published compositions for both instr, died 1811(Plowright dates his death as 1831). Instr date from 1763, workmanship satifactory but does not startle us into high praise by any special merit. Skill and knowledge manifested in the sensibly medium arched model. Warm yellowish-brown-red spirit varnish of rather fascinating tone. Fairly responsive tone, but without quality or carrying power. ShopsDiscussion board forHellmer,Carl Joseph (Carolus) |
