Georg Rauer (Vienna 1880 – Vienna 1935). He was studying by Karel Haudek, later employed by Gabriel Lemböck. Rauer passed his “Gesellenprüfung” in 1897, and went “auf der Waltz” to Budapest. He worked for master Wilhelm Thomas Theodor Jaura before opening his own shop. He was one of the best Viennese violin makers of this period also very well known as a dealer of the expensive instruments. One could almost think of him as a kind of Viennese “fin de siècle” Ch. Reuning. Rauer was tutor of Karel Josef Dvorak for example. Instruments made by Georg Rauer has a warm, powerful sound with great depth of tone. G.R. / Georg Rauer / Geigenmacher in Wien Anno 19..
