Find Your Violin Worth Today
Henry Handley
He was born in 1839. He began to make professionally in 1886, and up to the present he has made about eighty violins, violas, and violoncellos. He follows the model of a Guarnerius violin of the date of 17 15, and the workmanship is good and careful all over. The wood is carefully selected, and the varnish is Whitelaw's " Amati " colour. The tone has none of the Joseph characteristics ; it is moderately powerful and fairly clear and responsive. The plates are left thickly wooded, and the tone will probably be much better when age and use have done their work. Facsimile label : —
