Cyril William Jacklin
Bow maker / Violin maker
(1902 – 1988)
Cyril William Jacklin was a pupil of Frank Howard in Nottingham before joining Frances Ciesla in business in 1921. He established himself independently in Robert Street, London, from 1927. He carried out bow repairs for J. T. Wilson. In 1931, he relocated to Shaftesbury Avenue and moved out of central London due to wartime bombing in 1940, settling in Loughton. He returned to the city as director of Albert Arnold Ltd. from 1949 to 1956, but after the firm's closure, he went back to Loughton. Later, he became a consultant to Sotheby's auctioneers in London. His own instruments were made without a mould, allowing for flexibility in models and forms. He conducted extensive research into varnish with commercial chemists. He was highly regarded as a restorer and also made bows.
