John (Jan) Juzek (b.1892, d.1965) was born in Písek, Czech Republic and in the early 1900s he operated a violin-making workshop in Schönbach. Juzek was well-known in North America as a merchant and exporter of violins, violas, cellos, and double basses from this workshop. He also sold the work of independent craftsmen of the Bohemia region under his name. Juzek was a luthier in his own right and modeled his instruments on those of the Italian masters. He produced consistently high-quality instruments and was prolific during the early twentieth century.
