I was Born in Anglet (Basque country-France) a seaside resort located between the cities of Bayonne and Biarritz forty two years ago. My father was an aeronautic engineer (spacial)and my mother was an organ player, concertist and teacher in music college (CNR
Bayonne) . I
used to a cello student ( a former student of Jacques Doué) before dedicating my life to Bowmaking. In 1992 Jean-François
Raffin, offered me to come and work in his Parisian workshop, in order to learn the trade . I have been his assistant till 1997 |
|
Since 1997, I have been working in the Basque area, my native country. I have making bows implementing the know- how which Jean-François Raffin,
Stéphane Thomachot and Jean Grunberger taught me.
My main activity consist in the making of fine classics models for violin, viola, cello and double bass bows,including older models of the transi-tory and baroque periods.
I also work for the restauration and maintenance of quatuor bows. |

I only use first choice materials .Each pieces of Pernambouco is chosen according to the personality, the character of the artist, as well as his own way of playing, while respecting at the same time the balance and the weight of the bow to meet the musician's requirements.
I particularly take care of the choise of the Pernambouco wood, as well as for the ebony of the frogs, the hair and to all the materials used for bow-making. Today my Production can be found all over the world : Japan, the U.K., the U.S.A., Spain, Italie, Portugal,...
I just love my job...
