For those interested in the violin labelled as by Chas F Partoon, it has been extensively restored by the luthier Mark O'Brien of Poole Violins, Dorset. It is now in fine playing condition.

The Partoon Violin, shown in the previous photographs, has been repaired recently by Jeremy Walsh of Nunnery Mead Notton, Dorchester, Dorset.

Andrew Bellis, the bowmaker and violin repairer, has been involved with the repair work as an associate of Jeremy Walsh.

As well as being a violin maker, Jeremy is also a photographer.

The tradition of William Ferrier and Chas F Partoon still lives on!

Unless new information is forthcoming, my posts conclude with two images of the violin which was labelled by Chas F Partoon in 1896.

The violin has now been restored ready for another 100 years of music making.

A second image has been posted separately.

The picture attached shows the interior of a violin labelled by Chas F Partoon in 1896.

The image, taken during repair, suggests that a previous label had been present.

It is not unknown for violin makers to refurbish an old instrument and attach their own label.

I prefer to think that Chas F Partoon made the violin himself.

I am researching the Dundee Photographer CHAS F PARTOON.

As a young man he worked for William Ferrier the photograher and violin maker.

I understand that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries photograhers were sometimes violin makers. I have seen a violin labelled as having been made by Chas F Partoon of Dundee in 1896.

I would like to know if anyone knows more about his violin making before he became a prominent photographer with a studio at 55 Nethergate.
