Biographies
John Dilworth
Johann Christian (III) Born 1758, died 1822. Son of Johann Christian Ficker (II), above. Very fine maker in the terms of the Ficker school. Precisely worked high-arched Stainer model; narrow edges but well-defined purflling. Staineresque scroll: last turn of eye rather exaggerated in the extended cut into the boss. Thin clear yellow varnish. Some said to be more Amatisé in style, lacking the extended last turn of the scroll with a larger eye. Also some fairly ugly cornerless violins and good flat-backed double basses. Branded internally: * I * C * F *. Printed label: Johann Christian Fiker / Lauden und Geigenmacher / in Neukirchen bey Adorf. 1809 Johann Christian Ficker / Lauden und geigenmacher / In Neukirchen bey Adorf 1797 [Hamma]
