D. B. ROCKWELL 1842-1924
David B. Rockwell, born in Maine, was the owner of various businesses in Boston as well as a self-taught violin maker. He worked in several different locations in Boston, and frequently moved his work to other cities including Hartford, Detroit, Chicago, and San Francisco. He thrived as a violin maker for many years in New York before returning to Boston.



This violin, made in New York in 1912, is of beautifully grained wood and shows Rockwell's first-rate craftsmanship. The violin has a bright and sweet tone, with an easy playing response and evenness throughout. D. B. Rockwell
