Arthur Bowler

He works at 18 Milner Square, Islington, and was born July 12, 1867, at Thame, Oxfordshire. He is a nephew on his mother's side to the late Georges Chanot. He worked with Mr. J. A. Chanot for some time, where he got on so well that he became principal workman to that firm. In 1899 he started business on his own account, and he turns out excellent instruments, on the Stradivari model. The wood and varnish are beautiful, and the tone is firm, round, and clear. The work of this maker is bound to come to the front in the near future. Facsimile label : —
