Last month we moved offices. With masses of space, we now have permanent viewing and practice rooms so please come and say hello and see what goodies we have coming up for auction. And if you’re very lucky you might visit on a day when Judy, our own star baker, has made one of her cakes!
If you like to bring instruments for our Specialists to value please email lucy@amati.com to arrange an appointment.
More photos to come when the unpacking has been done!
To those interested in English violin making, the appearance of an original, signed and dated violin by John Morris of Bath is quite an event. Especially when it is so well preserved. Morris’ authenticated work is rare, and that may well be tied up with its close similarity to that of Benjamin Banks of Salisbury.
The Gagliano family is the most extensive in the history of violin making. They worked exclusively in Naples, a little isolated from the great workshops in Cremona, Venice and Milan, but kept up a prolific output from around 1700 until the late nineteenth century.
All great things are invented by the lazy. I go one stage further. I am lucky enough to be lazy man with brainy colleagues.
