By George Hart

One of the best imitators of Stainer. The wood is frequently handsome, the work finished with great care. Varnish, although wanting the delicacy of Stainer, is excellent; its colour is mostly pale red. Nearly all his instruments are branded with the initials inside. His name has hitherto been spelt Withalm.
