William Taylor
Violin maker
(c. 1769 – 1820)
William Taylor worked in Princes Street, Drury Lane, London. He was possibly a pupil of Vincenzo Panormo. His instruments featured a Stradivari model with a very flat arch. The workmanship was good, but the materials were of poor quality, and he used a thin red-brown spirit varnish. The chamfers of the scroll were blackened in the style of Stradivari. He recorded making violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. Some instruments were branded below the back button with 'Wm. Taylor' or 'W. T. '.
