Antin Paplynsky (Ukrainian: Антоній Паплинський (c. 1870-c.1919) was a Ukrainian musical instrument maker who crafted banduras from 1905-1918.[1] He was rumoured to have been shot by the Bolsheviks in 1919 or 1920. Paplynsky's instruments had 32-34 strings and were diatonically tuned. He was a popular bandura maker because of the quality of his instruments.[2] In 1909 he received a Grand Prix award at the World Trade Exhibition held in Paris. His instruments were sought after not only in Ukraine, but in Russia and Canada.
