Violin Makers
Spreadsheet Version

Baxters Database of Violin & Bow makers is now available in a downloadable spreadsheet form for PCs and MACs.

This massive collection of data (over 20,000 entries!!!) is an invaluable aid for violin collectors, violin lovers, buyers and sellers alike. Contains Names, Places, Dates, Notes, and where available, Values.

Violin Maker Reference Books are very expensive.

And there's so many of them.

I've been collecting books on Violinmakers for years. Every time I needed some information I'd have to decide which book to start with. One has German makers. One has many different countries. One has auction values, but no other information. One has good information, but incomplete dates. One has better dates, but less information. What I needed was all the good data, all collected into one easy to use, computerized database.

It's taken me many years to collect all this data, but it's ready for you to use…NOW

Don't be fooled by titles that talk about 'known violin makers' or 'Contemporary' or violin makers of the 'past and present'. This Spreadsheet version of

Baxters Database of Violin & Bow Makers

contains 20,693 entries… that's more than any other violinmaker reference.

Data includes: Lastname, Firstname, Country worked, Primary city worked, Work period, auction price range (where available) and notes.
