John Blair

£ 8777.00
He worked on the Stradivari model, and turned out excellent instruments as regards appearance, but not so excellent in tone. Mr. Honeyman is of opinion that he was the teacher of Matthew Hardie, and there is certainly a close resemblance between their work. Wood mostly good and handsome ; spirit varnish rather poor in quality. No label, but he usually wrote his name across the belly on the inside.
