Biographies
John Dilworth
MAST, Joseph Laurent Born 1779 Mirecourt, d.after 1830 Toulouse France. Son and pupil of Jean Laurent Mast, above. Apprenticed to Didier Nicolas. Established independently in Toulouse c.1800, in the rue des Balances. More classically graceful work than that of Jean Laurent, although still recognisably Mirecourtian. Widely scooped arching of medium height, quite flat across the centre. Rather narrow and upright soundholes, elegantly shaped. Purfling mitres deflected strongly across the corners. Traditional Mirecourt yellow varnish but also a better orange red recipe. Good materials. Some instruments with painted and decorated backs. Also prolific guitar maker. Branded internally and beneath back button: ‘Mast Fils. Toulouse’. Printed labels: Joseph Laurentius Mast fecit / Apollini, Deo Harmonia / 1816 Racommodé par Mast, rue / des Balances à Toulouse, 1808
