About the Maker
George Wulme-Hudson (1862-1952) was born in St. Pancras, London and is considered one of the most important early 20th century British violinmakers, referred to as ā€œthe second John Lott,ā€ a fine copyist of old Italian master instruments, which he made many. Wulme-Hudson trained as a violinist at Guildhall School of Music and. Initially a jeweler, Wulme-Hudson was self-taught training under the luthier Thomas Jacques Holder. Wulme-Hudson was actively crafting instruments from 1897, adding ā€œVulmeā€ to avoid confusion with a contemporary luthier of the same name. ā€œCaressa,ā€ a sobriquet, is often written or branded on instrument interiors. Wulme-Hudson was prolific, making more than 800 instruments of varying quality as both an independent maker in Lower Clapton in 1925 as well as for Edward Withers’ prominent London shop.
