Detail Introduction
Born at Norwich, 1862. Enlisted for a soldier, 1879. Made first instrument at Aldershot Barracks, 1890. Resident at Woolwich, 1927. Modelling generally Stradivarian or Guarnerian. Styte and workmanship of early specimens show the untutored eye and hand, arching sometimes of peculiar rise from the edge, inaptitude rather than originality. Made over 200 instruments, therefore we get obvious improvement, though never reaching beyond the ordinary. Also several violas and ’cellos. Oil varnish very light yellow to red shades. Sometimes too thin and other times too plentifully applied. ShopsDiscussion board forRope,Alfred James |
