Described as producing instruments of grand rich and of mellow tone, William Davy was a Bolton-based violin maker from the early 1900s. Davy in fact practised his skill in a small room along Churchbank in the town centre on almost the exact same site as our current repair workshop. As a Tribute to the man himself, we now offer our advanced William Davy Violins.
The locality of the William Davy workshop and the history surrounding the man himself has naturally been a point of interest for various generations of the Booths Music team; in 2015 we thought it was high time the brand name was rekindled. As a fitting tribute to the man himself, we have begun to develop new quality string instruments of significance with the William Davy brand, (inspired by a prized possession of ours, the first cello he made back in 1911).
Specifically sourced and individually hand-finished in the Booths workshop, it is our goal to put the final touches to quality violins in order to bring such instruments to their optimum best. Certified and dated, we hope it will be recognised as a sign of individuality and give confidence and assurance to prospective buyers.
It is our aim to always have several of these high quality instruments in stock, so please call us to enquire about our current William Davy violins on 01204 522908.
The history of Booths Music has seen associations with many characterful, exuberant, splendid and famous names and of course, William Davy is most welcome. If you wish to make an enquiry or appointment to view any of these violins, please contact us or pop in store. Similarly, if any musical historians out there have any further points of interest regarding the instrument maker William Davy, we would love to hear from you.
