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

“I visited because I was interested in buying a Paris-made cello. Although I couldn’t purchase it due to my budget, my son’s teacher kindly explained everything to us and gave us plenty of time to try it. The sound of the cello made by his father was excellent.”

“A skilled and friendly luthier — I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with my violin again. He also quickly identified an error in the violin appraisal.”

“Excellent advice and very attentive to the musician’s needs. I first went there to have my bow rehaired. I had also brought two bows with me, and the luthier was able to assess both of them and let me know that the second one was not of sufficient quality.”

“Very kind, patient, and full of great advice. I’m happy to have purchased my violin from him. He is also very responsive in communication.”

“Very welcoming and friendly. I received valuable advice regarding the condition and potential resale of my student cello. I highly recommend it!”

“I’m a big fan of this luthier. Impeccable service, excellent advice, and high-quality equipment. And even when I had an issue with my bow, since the equipment is under warranty, if the problem is not due to you or normal wear and tear, you won’t have to pay for the repair.”
