Detail Introduction
Born 1844. Worked at, Aberdeen, 1870~1919 . Produced about 300 instruments. Variegated modelling after examples of Amati, Stradivari and Guarnerius, Early specimens rather too strongly wooded, workmanship progressive and treated to a brown spirit varnish . Scroll and sound-holes generally too rigid and not even of a line-and-rule formality. A beautiful Alessandro Gagliano came into his hands for repair, so he made careful measurements, etc., and subsequently adhered to that model.Design and workmanship altogether superior to. former attempts. Curvature, graduation of plates and proportions of more experienced conception. Varnish of oil, brownish shade With yellow ground. Tonal quality very responsive and approximately mature. £65,1960.
