George Ward (Irish: Seoirse Mac an Bháird; c. 1715–1769) was an Irish luthier and maker of violins and cellos from Dublin.[2][3] His instruments are considered original in style with some resemblances to the Stradivari model.[4] One of his violins is preserved as part of a collection at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin.[5]
