    Arthur Edward Smith (1880-1978) was an English-Australian luthier widely regarded as Australia's most important violin maker. His violins and violas are highly valued for their tone and decorative elements, such as sound holes and scrolls. Some musicians consider his violas to be among the greatest ever created.

    Smith was born in England and trained as an engineer before joining an antique and musical instruments firm.

    William Henry Dow 1897 Violin, Melbourne

    William Henry Dow was born in Scotland in 1834 and moved to Australia in 1855 to work as a pattern maker at Langlands Port Phillip Foundry in Melbourne. Initially a hobby, he began making violins in his workshop in South Melbourne and received medals for his work at national exhibitions. After retiring from patternmaking, he devoted himself to creating instruments and made over 200 violins by his death in 1928. It is still being determined how many instruments Dow made, as he only started numbering them when he was satisfied with their quality. One of his violins is on display at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
