Joseph Laurent Mast
Son of Jean Laurent Mast. Was born at Mirecourt and was still there in 1820. He was apprenticed to Nicolas there at the sign of "A la ville de Cremone," and then settled in Toulouse. Several of his violins are known, and are said to be of better workmanship than those of his father. They are arched, the sound-holes are not well cut, and he used two varnishes, one yellow-brown and the other reddish colour. He branded his instruments with " Mast fils Toulouse, 1825." There is a violin in the Paris Conservatoire Collection which has the label : " Josephus Laurentius Mast fecit Apollini Deo Harmonise 1816, repare chez Schubert Epinal, 1831."
