William (III) Forster
Highest auction price achieved
£ 86400.00
Son of William Forster, the second of the family. Although this maker did not attain to the celebrity of his father, his instruments are often fully as good. The workmanship is very neat, and the modelling excellent; the varnish being equal to that on his father's instruments.
