Nicht ungeschickt; die wenigen Geigen, die man von ihm kennt, zeigen zwar gutes Holz, gute Arbeit und rothen Lack, sind aber plump in der Form und haben einen näselnden Ton.

This good class maker has produced little. The fact that the sonority of his instruments is confined, is due to heavy workmanship. Red varnish.
