  • David Laurie (b. 1833 - d. Brussels 1897) - was a distinguished 19th century violin collector (known worldwide, as good friend of J. B. Vuillaume). Born in 1833 in Netherton, Kinross-shire Scotland, he was an only son of John Laurie laird of Drunzie, Kinross-shire. He married and had six children with his first wife and then after her death married again and had twelve more children. He was an oil merchant, as well as an amateur violinist, though his passion was fiddle collecting which eventually changed to his livelihood.His personal violin was the "Alard" Stradivari of 1715, which he bought from Alard in 1876 (upon his retirement). Prior to that, in the mid-19th century the instrument was bought by a banker from Belgium in Florence and subsequently passed to J. B. Vuillaume in Paris who gave it to his son-in-law M. Delphin Alard a professor of violin at the Paris Conservatory.Mr. Laurie once was offered £2,000 for the "Alard" Strad which he refused. He amassed a great collection of the finest string instruments in the world. Among the many great instruments which passed through him were: Antonio Stradivari (STRADIVARIUS) violin(s) of 1684 "Wilmotte", 1688, 1701, 1702, the "Dancla Stradivarius (1703)", the "Lafont" of 1708, the "Ernst"of 1709, 1710, 1712, ex- "Marquis de Sayve" of 1713, "Cremonese" now known as the ex-Joachim of 1715, the "Alard" of 1715, 1717, another ex- "Joachim" of 1722, 1726, The 1734 "Gibson" Viola as well. Also Stradivari cello(s) the "Gore-Booth" of 1710, and the "Bass of Spain" of 1713.Del Gesu "Il Canone", "King Joseph" Guarnerius Del Gesu, the d'Egville of 1735 and the "Leduc" of 1743/5 Del Gesus, as well one c. 1744. Other instruments include an Amati violin of 1688, Nicolò Amati violin 1645 (sold to J. Joachim), Bergonzi tenor, Bergonzi cello, Lupot violin, Ex- Garcin J.B. Vuillaume of 1868 violin (which he bought from Garcin), and another Vuillaume violin of 1874 which showcases inlaid ebony fleur-de-lys designs and is one of the last instruments to come out of Vuillaume's workshop, made a year before his death."Made for the famous violin dealer David Laurie, it's a copy of a Nicolò Amati violin originally belonging to Prince Youssoupoff (a Russian aristocrat and pupil of Henri Vieuxtemps). Only six copies were made." He conducted his business from his home 36 Lansdowne Crescent, Glasgow. David Laurie died in Brussels, 1897. (en)
