Detail Introduction
Instrument dealers in Cheapside (London), 1741-1798. Bought all sorts of instruments, and put in their trade label. Many of the better instruments sold by them (also labelled), as made by them, were really the work of Benjamin Banks or Jay(2). These are usually of the Amati type, medium high arching, handsomely flamed maple and brown varnish. Tone always mellow and nicely full. Other specimens either branded or labelled, have a commoner appearance. Sometimes the name appears as Longman and Lukey. --------------------------- Longman & Broderip No. 26 Cheapside No. 13 Hay-Market London --------------------------- (square lettering) Violas stamped with these names were made by Joseph Hill.
