Biographies

John Dilworth

TUBBS, James Born 1835, died 1921 London UK. Most celebrated English bow maker. Son and pupil of William Tubbs, below. Established independently at 18 Great Windmill Street, subsequently 5 Church Street, 53 Greek Street, 39 King Street Soho, and finally at 47 (later renumbered 94) Wardour Street. Associated with W. E. Hill from c.1858 but the relationship soured when Hill was awarded medals at the 1862 exhibition for two Tubbs bows entered under the Hill own name and brand. Subsequently, whenever Tubbs encountered one of his bows with a Hill brand, he would superimpose his own. Appointed bow maker to the Duke of Edinburgh 1874. From 1878 made a series of bows presented as annual prizes at the Royal Academy and Guildhall schools of music up until 1909. He won prize medals in his own right at the 1885 exhibition. At the end of the 1880s he retired to his home on London Road, Staines, but returned to work in Wardour Street following the death of his son Alfred in 1909. His model is distinctive and original, although true to the classical French concepts. In turn his own work has been much imitated by Pfretszschner and Bazin. Branded: JAS TUBBS [BVMA]
