Detail Introduction
Born 1846. Worked at Merton (Surrey). Splendid Stradivarian modelling, always excellent material, lustrous oil varnish (pale yellow to deep golden-red) of fine quality. Introduced a “Maggini bass bar system”, and a “triple-bar arrangement” (ordinary bass bar reduced in length and thickness, and two smaller bars, one on either side, added). Only a few of his instruments have these suspicious innovations (designed for eliminating inequality of certain notes), the remainder of his fairly prolific output are built on orthodox lines. ---------------------------- J.
