George Craske Violin
A prolific English maker, George Craske began his career in London, studying under William Forster. Over the years, Craske moved to various locations across the UK including Birmingham and Bath, producing over 2,500 exceptional instruments. Craske became known for his talents as a copyist, particularly for his bench copies of instruments by the old masters such as Amati, Stradivari and Guarneri. After his death, much of his collection was acquired and sold by W.E. Hill & Sons.
