By William Meredith Morris

He was born December i, 1857, at Arbroath. He makes on the models of Stradivari and Guarneri, considerably modified according to his own conception. The workmanship and varnishing are excellent, and the tone is large and brilliant. The plates are left very thick, but carefully graduated. Christie's instruments will improve in quality with age and use. Label : — 1892, JAMES CHRISTIE, VIOLIN-MAKER, DUNDEE The date is handwritten.
