Full Description

A fine French Cello bow by Jean-Joseph Martin c. 1880 stamped Vuillaume

Born in the legendary violin-making town of Mirecourt, France, Jean-Joseph Martin dove into the local industry after his father’s premature death. He studied bow-making under Nicolas Maire before leaving to work for Jean Baptiste Vuillaume in Paris. With a characteristic drive, twenty-one-year-old Martin, who did not have enough money to travel by coach, walked the whole 230 mile distance from Mirecourt to Paris.
