The Maker
Born in 1882, George Wulme Hudson became one of England’s most versatile and talented makers. However, his violin making career began late. Still, he made up for lost time.
Hudson proved a quite prolific maker. In fact, he produced over 800 instruments in his time. That output stands out for a maker who started his work later in life.
Above all, Hudson earned a name as one of the world’s finest copyists. He worked from the great Italian makers Stradivari, Bergonzi and Guarneri. Today, a George Wulme Hudson violin like this 1930 example shows that gift clearly.
