George Pyne
Violin maker
(1852 – 1921)
George Pyne was a violinist and self-taught maker. He worked for Edward Withers for 20 years and was credited with approximately 500 violins and violas based on classical Cremonese models, some of which utilized imported parts. His work was known for being very finely finished and accurate. Initially, he used spirit varnish, but later he adopted an oil recipe, generally resulting in a plain pale golden-brown color.
