Detail Introduction

Born at Morton Pinkney (Northamptonshire), 1787. Apprenticed to Charles Harris in London. Worked for William Forster. Established own workshop, 1810, and used his own label for the first time. Died 1827. Made many delightful violins, particularly suitable for performances of Chamber music. Outline of his Nicola Amati copies is very fine indeed, and the tone is stronger than is generally expected, being remarkably flexible. Though he favoured that model he also paid tribute to the Stradivarian, and here again the upper bouts are perfectly proportioned to the lower. Both models adorned with beautifully finished workmanship in every detail which makes them of even greater interest and renders them the most charming of all our native productions.
