Biographies
John Dilworth
BUCHSTETTER, Gabriel David Worked circa. 1730-1780 Stadtamhof, Regensberg Germany. Son of Christoff Buchstetter, above. A very well-regarded maker of great individuality. Working on a Stradivari-derived model, he exhibits great finesse in craftsmanship, although let down by the rather thin and opaque varnish in common use in that time and place. There is sometimes a hint of unattractive stain in the wood also. The scrolls are very distinctive, with a long, swan necked pegbox and deep, open throat, and a very concentric volute extending up behind the eye. Very fine Stradivarian soundholes with subtle fluting in the lower wing. Well-regulated low arching. Generally fine choice of materials. Labels are frequently numbered, and an example of 1752 was evidently the 26th made. Labels in both Gothic and Roman type.
