About Benjamin Banks (Salisbury, England, 1727–1795)
Benjamin Banks, often referred to as the “English Amati,” crafted violins, violas, and cellos of remarkable quality in Salisbury. Influenced by both Amati and Stainer models early in his career, Banks later developed a broader, more powerful style favoured by soloists and chamber musicians. Today, Banks’ violins represent the very best of the English school and are appreciated worldwide for their musical and historical significance.
