Biographies
John Dilworth
HOFMANS, Matthys Worked circa. 1660-1720 Antwerp Belgium. Labels dated as early as 1619 and as late as 1740 are reported which has led to speculation that there may be two makers of the same name; father and son. Several instruments in the Musical Instruments Museum, Brussels: violins, pochettes, violas, and a theorbo dated 1619. Very finely made in the Amati style with similar golden amber varnish, if a little harder in texture, some with a darker red tone. Matthys Hofmans / van Antwerpen. 1683 Matthys Hofmans / tot Antwerpen. 1720
