Detail Introduction
Worked at Mittenwald, 1750-1769. Instruments bearing no lack of ingenuity. Quite attractive in the semi-Amatese outline - his predominating style, and of rather well developed proportions particularly across the upper bouts. Nice medium arching. Edges thinly rounded and neatly done. Perfectly posed scroll, quite superior in style to anything his local contemporaries ever conceived. Careful, almost masterly, sound-holes. Purfling neat. Plentifully wooded with close grained (usually) spruce, and small flame curly maple. Orange-yellow varnish, occasionally used a reddish brown, effectively applied with Italian-like texture. Tone very responsive and particularly equal in the lower and higher registers. £35 (1930). £90 (1959). ShopsDiscussion board forJohann Ulrich(2),Fichtl |
