Henry Jay (Jaye) II
(c. 1740 – 1776)
Fine viol maker based in London during the 18th century. After his training (which was probably with Peter Walmsley) he established his own workshop first in Long Acre, Covent Garden, from 1740 and later in Windmill Street, Piccadilly, from around 1766. Many of his instruments were sold through the Longman firm, and their brand can be found under back button of some Jay instruments. No documented connection with the earlier Henry Jay.
