George Woswick
By Brian Chesters
Some time ago, the subject of re-pinning musical box cylinders came up for discussion. I mentioned that Englands best (probably) cylinder re-pinner was George Worswick of Bardney near Lincoln.
Unfortunatly, he died on Tuesday 2nd July of a brain tumor. I have sent a letter of sympathy to his widow Marina on behalf of musical box collectors the world over.
He had one of my boxes in for re-pin at the time. There will be no problem as his widow has arranged for another restorer to call some time after the funeral to sort things out. I know he has done many cylinders for overseas clients. If any have one for repin still in Lincoln, perhaps they can let me know and I will be able to help in a few weeks time.
