There is Made in England and it seems there is also ‘Made in English Captivity’. For that is the inscription inside a violin that was made by a German soldier in a prisoner of war camp in Braintree, Essex in 1944.  The violin has been owned by the Powell family since 1945 when they were given the instrument by an officer.  “It was always in and around the house, but I don’t think it had any strings back then,” said Mr David Powell. “We have no idea where he got the wood from but he even boiled up his own glue.  It’s a labour of love.”  The violin recently had a service but it was in such good condition that it only needed minor repairs.  These were undertaken by a Russell Stowe of Woodbridge Violins in Suffolk, who was clearly impressed with the craftsmanship, “I’ve seen many violins in the past 25 years, but stringing this up was quite amazing…It’s very, very well made and I’ve known amateur makers in proper workshops who do not make violins as good as this…This has got the touch of somebody who knows what they were doing and may have been a violin maker before the war started…There were many violin-making families in Germany in the 1880s and 1890s.”  Whoever the violin maker was it must have been music to the ears when news broke of the end of the War.
