David Murray
(b. 1850)
David Murray was a violinist and violin maker who had previously worked as a miner. He was credited with over 100 instruments. His personal models were derived from Stradivari and Guarneri. His work was generally distinguished by rich red oil varnish, which was often artificially darkened in the center of the front. The soundholes were rather slanting and set close to the lower corners. He featured strong purfling with extended mitres that deflected across the upper corners.
