Biographies

John Dilworth

STRNAD, Kaspar Born 1752, died 1823 Prague Czech Republic. Pupil of T. Hulinzky. Notable workmanship; one of the first of the Prague school to adopt the Cremonese form and worked generally on a large Stradivari pattern with low arching, full to the edges. Retained a Stainer model for the scroll. Soundholes frequently set low on the body, recalling Bergonzi in style and disposition. Materials usually of choice quality. Varnish well-coloured in appropriate shades, transparent and refractive. Violas, cellos, double basses, and guitars all recorded and extant. Label often imitated in commercial factory-made instruments. Caspar Strnad / Fecit Pragae Anno 1807 Casper Strnad / Fecit Prague Anno 1781
