At 47 rue de Rome, Etienne Pavie luthier in the heart of Paris

"Étienne is a true professional and a master in his field. He works with exceptional care, precision and understanding of bowed string instruments. The quality of his work is remarkable, as is his attention to detail. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a talented and trustworthy luthier in Paris."

"I came because I wanted to buy a Parisian cello. I couldn't afford it, but Étienne kindly explained everything and gave us plenty of time to play it. The sound of the cello made by his father was excellent."

"A skilled and friendly luthier — I won't hesitate to bring my violin back to him! He also quickly spotted an appraisal error on my violin."

"Great advice and very attentive to the musician. I first came to have my bow rehaired. I also brought two other bows. He assessed both and pointed out that the second one wasn't of sufficient quality."

"Very kind, patient and full of good advice. I'm happy to have bought my violin from him. Also very responsive in communication."

"Very welcoming and friendly. I received valuable advice about the condition and potential resale of my student cello. Highly recommend!"

"I'm a huge fan of this luthier. Impeccable service, great advice and quality products. And even when I had an issue with my bow, since it was under warranty and the problem wasn't due to me or normal wear, the repair was free of charge."
