Biographies
John Dilworth
STIRRAT, David Born 1768 Ayrshire, Worked 1811-1826 Edinburgh, Scotland UK. Lived in Glasgow, 1794-1811. Established in Edinburgh as a violin maker from 1811. Workshop initially at 210 High Street, from 1816 at Head of Fleshmarket Close, and from 1823 at 105 High Street. Very characterful work on Stradivari models with good low arch. Scrolls slightly oval along the line of the pegbox and the turns a little cramped and lightly chamfered. Materials generally quite plain. Varnish quite rich textured and predominantly red-brown. At least one violin labelled by M. Hardie has been found signed internally by Stirrat, but nothing further is known of their relationship. Signed internally. D. Stirrat Fecit / Edinburgh 1810 [Rattray]
