After Jacobs’ death in 1704, he took over the workshop. In 1706 he married Magdalena Kruijskerck. She brought him a rich dowry. Thanks to that, they never had any financial problems: when his widow Magdalena died in 1750, their capital was estimated to be approximately 53.133,00 florins (25.000,00 euro) Pieter Rombouts was buried on 27-9-1728 (Note:According to Rene Vannes "Dictionnaire Universel des Luthiers" he died in 1749, Henley mentions 1740). -ABOUT THE PICTURES- The thumbnails on this page which can be enlarged by clicking on them, show you a variety of the Rombouts models I have made over the years. The name of each set of thumbnails is the family-name of the first owner of that particular viol. -WOODS USED ON THE SHOWN EXAMPLES- The "Rive" viol: the fingerboard and tailpiece are fineered with ebony with an inlay of maple, and ebony sides.
