About Thomas Kennedy (London, 1784–1870)
Thomas Kennedy came from a distinguished family of London luthiers. After working for William Forster and others, he established his own workshop, developing a personal, robust style marked by strong arching, deep red varnishes, and beautifully powerful tone. Kennedy made a wide range of instruments, from simple models to high-quality pieces rivalling continental work, and is especially prized for his fine violins, cellos, and double basses.
