Biographies
John Dilworth
ROMBOUTS, Pieter Born 1667, died 1728 Amsterdam Netherlands. Pupil and step-son of Hendrik Jacobs. Active in his workshop from c.1685. Most if not all cellos with the Jacobs label can be ascribed to Rombouts. Established in Sint Antoniessbreestraat, later Botermarkt. Independently made violins, violas, cellos, pochettes, and viols. Possibly assisted himself by H. Ravekens and C. Beeringer; the workshop certainly continued in business after his death. Very fine craftsmanship. Early work similar to Jacobs, but developed a more independent style with deep thick red varnish. Amati and later Stainer models. Generally quite broad patterns. Full arch. Soundholes widely spaced. Whalebone purfling very wide and set quite close to the edge in a deep channel. Corners relatively short. The scrolls have a tight well regulated volute with extended final turn. Pegbox deeply fluted and broad across the back. Some instruments with carved lion heads. Pieter Rombouts Amsterdam. 1714
