John Crang (1710-1774) was a maker of keyboard instruments and pipe organs in London in the mid eighteenth century.
He is thought to have been the apprentice of Christopher Shrider,[2] who in turn had been the foreman of the well-known London organ maker, Bernard Smith.
John Crang's earliest known instrument still in existence is a claviorgan (a harpsichord and an organ combined) made in 1745.
[3] It was originally located at Nettlefold Castle until 1953 and is now in a collection of musical instruments held by the University of Edinburgh.
[7] Together they repaired and made a range of keyboard instruments including harpsichords, spinets, pianos and organs.
