Biographies
John Dilworth
RAEBURN, John Born 1833, Worked from 1856, died 1910 Largoward, Fifeshire, Scotland UK. Eldest brother of Alexander and George Raeburn. Miner, violinist, and part-time violin maker. The most successful maker of the family, credited with over 100 instruments on various models, but often using a good Stradivari pattern. Quite refined in style, the narrow edge and crudely managed purfling corners are the only betrayal of his amateur status. Particularly well finished, with a fine and carefully applied red-brown oil varnish. Awarded bronze medals at Glasgow and Edinburgh Exhibitions. Highly regarded locally. John Raeburn Maker Largoward / St. Andrews / 1902
