Salter, Humphrey
Humphrey Salter
Active around 1683-1705
London, St Paul's Churchyard at the sign of The Lute
In 1683 he published in collaboration with Richard Hunt, The Genteel Companion, being exact directions for the Recorder, with a collection of the best and newest tunes and grounds extant, carefully composed and gathered by Humphry Salter. Hunt had been a musical instrument seller in St Paul's Churchyard from before the fire of London, and it appears that Salter was his successor. Salter was still active in 1705.
Salter had some relationship with Barak Norman as a seller of musical instruments. A bass viol stamped "Barak Norman London Fect" on the belly in the Musée de Beaux Arts in Rennes, is labelled "Sold by Humphrey Salter instrument Seller at the sign of the lute in St Paules Church Yard".
