John Mackintosh (luthier)

John Mackintosh (Irish: Seán Mac an Taoisigh; c. 1780–1841) was a luthier, author and maker of violins from Dublin. Towards the end of his career, he wrote a short publication on violin making and the Cremonese school, where he claims to have rediscovered their forgotten technique of wood preservation. One of his violins is preserved as part of a collection at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin.
