Very good work, but plates in some of his instruments are left too thin, and the tone must consequently deteriorate with age. Label :—

Ein Photograph, der sich aus Liebhaberei dem Studium des Geigenbaus gewidmet
hat. Er hat bisher über 30 Violinen gemacht, von denen ihm viele nur als Versuche galten. Einige sind länger als üblich, andere zu dünn im Holz, alle aber von bemerkenswerther,
schöner Arbeit.
