John Dilworth

COLVIN, G. Born 1841, died 1910 Sunderland, Scotland UK. Capable maker on Stradivari model with good local reputation. Gavin Colvin / Maker. Sunderland. / 1890

William Meredith Morris

He was born in Lerwick, Shetland, in 1841. About fifteen years ago he was fortunate enough to have a genuine Stradivari violin brought to him for repairs, and all his instruments from that time on are copies of this violin. Previous to that he had made many instruments on an original model, with a rather pronounced arching. The workmanship is good, and the tone is moderately powerful and of a good quality. He uses both spirit and oil varnishes. Label, handwritten : —
