Bela SZEPESSY
Schüler von Samuel Nemessányi, bei dem er von 1868—1874 lernte. Er arbeitete hierauf fünf Jahre lang bei Zach in Wien, von 1879—1881 in München und ging dann nach London, wo er seine eigene Werkstatt eröffnete. Er arbeitet hauptsächlich nach Stradivari, zuweilen auch nach Guarneri und nur in vereinzelten Fällen nach Nic. Amati. Er nimmt die Decke jedoch am oberen und unteren Klotz stärker im Holz und verwendet einen selbst verfertigten, weichen Öllack, zu dem er Harz, goldgelbe Farbe und ein durchsichtiges Roth mischt. Bis 1900 hatte er 160 Geigen, 6 Violen und 3 Violoncelli hergestellt. Für seine Geigen erzielt er durchschnittlich gute Preise. Auszeichnungen und Medaillen, die man ihm mehrfach angeboten hat, lehnte er ab. Bei aller Hochschätzung für die alten Meister, die er eingehend studirte, ist er doch der Überzeugung, dass eine aus gutem und gesundem Holz gemachte neue Geige einer alten im Tone gleichkommen und ihr vorgezogen werden muss.
