By William Meredith Morris

A prolific maker, much of whose work is of considerable merit. He worked on an original model, with plates rather highly arched. The wood is usually of good quality, though some- times poor and plain in figure. The varnish is a spirit one, hard and dry, but thinly laid on. Colour : dark yellow to dark brown. The tone is not over strong, but it is clear, sweet, and penetrating. He left many of his instruments too thin in wood, and these have not improved with age and use. Label : — CHAS. CRAMOND, MAKER, ABERDEEN, 1815
