Detail Introduction
Worked at Manchester, 1845-1892, pupil of Tarr, associated with Craske, who rather favoured his efforts. Produced a few really fine representations of the Amati and Guar traits with workmanship altogether splendidly finished. Also thinly wooded specimens of poor outline, shoulders drooping, and fully exemplifing his first teacher's opinion. The better instr are more accurate in thickness. Orange red varnish not too satisfying. Tone never very pure, though perhaps suitable for the second-rate orchestral player who wants loudness in lieu of anything else. Also made violas and cellos which have their merits and demerits. Used a label until 1858. Later work stamped J. Cole inside the instr. ShopsDiscussion board forCole,James |
