Biographies
John Dilworth
RUDDIMAN, Joseph. Born 1729 Monquhitter, died 1810 Aberdeen, Scotland UK. Most prolific maker of the Aberdeen School. Probably a pupil of R. Duncan. Prolific output of all types of stringed instruments is similar to that of Perry in Dublin. Active in Aberdeen from 1757. Amati/Stainer model, unpurfled; idisosyncratic head with small volute and extended throat. Later work is slightly more sophisticated and has a Duke or early Forster appearance, with red varnish, flatter arch, and more often purfled. Some instruments branded: ‘J.R.F.A.’ Ruddiman / 17 Maker 76 / Aberdeen [Rattray]
