1AND VIOLIN MAKERS
3copyist, who has left some well-made fiddles and violoncellos.
5DYKES, HARRY, AND SONS.—London; contemporary. Well-known dealers and repairers. The sons, George and Arthur D., are both skilful workmen.
7EBERLE.—Various makers of the name worked in Prague and elsewhere during the eighteenth century. The chief Prague maker was JOHANNES UDALRICUS EBERLE, 1699–1768, a skilful workman who has left a good many instruments, generally on the lines of Stainer, with handsome wood and well-cut scrolls. Varnish on many of them is excellent and of considerable brilliancy. TOMASO EBERLE worked in Naples down to about 1790. It does not appear whether he was related to the Prague family. There is little or no trace of German teachings in his violins, which are of the Gagliano class, and often bear Gagliano tickets. He may have worked with Niccolò Gagliano or some other member of the family. The varnish is similar to that used by that family; the work usually neat and well finished. Wood well-chosen and sometimes handsome.
9EMILIANI, FRANCESCO DE.—Rome; eighteenth century. Rather high built. Work of the Tecchler school. He possibly assisted that maker. Scrolls very neatly cut.
11ERNST, FRANZ ANTON.—Gotha. Died 1805. Work little known in this country. Said to be of Stradivari pattern. He was also a violinist and composer.
13EURY.—Paris; early nineteenth century. An excellent bow-maker.
