William Glenister

Born in Buckinghamshire in 1850.

Although he was a businessman, he was also self-taught in string instrument making and was active from around 1888 to around 1936.

It is mainly modeled after the Stradivarius "Tuscan" made in 1690, and has a flat arch with F-holes close to the edges.

Records show that he made around 70 instruments during his lifetime.
