Paul Bailly
Born in Mirecourt and died in Paris. He was a pupil of Jules Gaillard and Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, and a collaborator of Prosper Gérard. After working successively in France, Belgium, and England in London at 86 Wardour Street, then for Harry Dykes in Leeds, and finally in America, he settled permanently in Paris in 1898, on rue de Grenelle. He copied instruments from many different schools, but especially the Stradivarian model.

After the death of Paul Bailly in 1907, his daughter Jenny took over the workshop.

“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.”

Pauline
“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.”

“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.”
