Emanuel WHITMARSH

Highest auction price achieved
£ 4422.00

By William Meredith Morris

I cannot give any biographical particulars, but I have seen a great deal of his work. Nor am I certain that the present Emmanuel Whitmarsh is the same that turned out excellent instruments some twenty-five or thirty years ago. The work does not seem to me to have the same characteristics. The present maker of that name makes principally for the wholesale houses. The Messrs. Dawkins, of 17 Charterhouse Street, Holborn Circus, have been his agents for some years past. The work is very carefully finished, and the tone usually clear, firm, and sweet.
