Detail Introduction
Born 1810. Pupil of brother Emmanuel Adam. Worked at Neu Bydschow, 1837-1843; and at Kuttenberg (Kuttná Hora in Bohemian), 1843 to his death in 1861. A thinker and experimentalist. Tried to create a comparatively new model which he exhibited at Munich in 1854. Minuteness of finish in workmanship and varnish challenge comparison with the Italian masterpieces. Tonal quality hard and harsh owing to undue thickness of wood. Wisely modified this procedure in building later instruments, and these, strongly wooded as they are, are now coming into their real tonal quality of sweetness and strength. Dark red or yellow varnish Extremely elegant model. Scroll has gracefully flowing curves. ShopsDiscussion board forHomolka,Ferdinand Joseph(1) |
