OK Guys,
probably the most famous violin maker in history and therefore the odd man out as he was not a performer.
9. Antonio Stradivari

Well done all, though not too taxing, I suspect.
There seem to be several Jewish names in the list,
although that wasn't intentional.

1 is Pablo Casals, and 5 is YoYo Ma, so I suspect we are dealing here with the violoncello. If you mean by 'odd one out' the person you have omitted from the list, then I can't seem to identify Jacqueline Du Pre anywhere...
