Younger brother of John Dodd, Thomas Dodd began working as a bowmaker around 1784 but by 1794 had switched to making and dealing in violins. In the early years he employed Bernhard Simon Fendt I and John Frederick Lott I, both of whom were responsible for the great number of excellent cellos and double basses the shop produced. Fendt left to work for Dodd's competitor John Betts in 1809, but Lott stayed on until around 1820. Show more
