BROOKFIELD, Edward Worked circa. 1872-1914 Southport, Lancashire UK. Limited production of violins and bows. Decent workmanship
William Meredith Morris+
The work is now carried on by the son. He made violins and bows, and repaired very extensively. The work of both father and son is said to be very good, but I have not seen any of it. The son works on the model of Guarnerius, with Stradivari sound-holes. Label, handwritten : —
