In 1840 he left Paris to return to Mirecourt, although he continued working for Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume. Thanks to his experience and skill. He soon tool over the managemen of a factory, in which they also made decorated violins, inspirated by the mythical luthier Duiffopruggar, alternating this production with much simpler violins, made chiefly for export. They also made numerous guitars, some of which, destined for the English market where French musical instruments were very popular, were made in the Panormo style.

Classical Guitars
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
