	Jean Baptiste Vuillaume - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jean Baptiste Vuillaume (1798-1875) was one of the greatest geniuses in the history of violin making, and the most important of the Vuillaume family of luthiers (listed below).
		Vuillaume was able to craft such a perfect replica of a Guarnerius violin known as the Cannone Guarnerius owned by the famous virtuoso Nicolò Paganini, that upon viewing them side by side, Paganini was unable to tell which was the original.
		Vuillaume died at the height of his career, widely regarded as the pre-eminent luthier of his day.

	VUILLAUME's biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Beginning in 1827, at the height of the Neo-Gothic period when many artists were drawing their inspiration from 15th and 16th century cathedrals and monuments, and in order to satisfy the infatuation of virtuosi and amateurs with great 18th century Italian violin makers, he started imitating old instruments.
		Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume was not only a violin maker, a tradesman (he travelled all over Europe in order to find instruments), and an innovator, but also a highly talented restorer.
		Vuillaume then made accurate measurements of their dimensions and made copies of them.

		Son and pupil of Claude Vuillaume V, Jean Baptiste Vuillaume is said to have been one of the most perfect imitators that ever lived.
		Vuillaume is also reputed to have been the only nineteenth century violin maker who was able to equal the varnish of the old Italians.
		Jean Baptiste Vuillaume was not only a meticulous maker, but as a dealer, handled many fine instruments, and was very successful at imitating other masters, especially Antonio Stradivari.

		Vuillaume's enquiry for instruments was met with some disdain - most of the junk was in Milan, where Tarisio had died, surrounded by his collection, but half a dozen violins were at the farm.
		Vuillaume is counted among the best violin-makers of the 19th century.
		A compelling reason for refusing to attribute the Messiah to Vuillaume is that it is simply too good to be his work.

		Presumably, this is a mark signifying that this is a second copy of a specific Stradivari violin, or a mark signifying that this is a copy of an instrument that is no longer in existence due to its state before copying.
		The reason for this variant appears to be one of date placement in the mid position above the signature loops, whereas in the complete version of the signature there is apparently no space left for the placement of the date in that position.
		Both noted examples of signatures share a significant common denominator, where a line copies the form of the closest positioned rib, as a single stroke, beginning far left and tracing the rib roughly at the same distance all along, ending with a final stroke behind the top right corner of the signature, or loops.

		Seen from an acoustic point of view the viola is actually too small to produce a proper resonance in its lower range.
		In an attempt to provide the middle voice of the string quartet with a bigger sound Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume built remarkably broad violas called contr'altos, whose sound was meant to resemble an alto voice.
		Vuillaume was one of many builders in the 19th century who experimented with the viola's sound.

	Vuillaume Guarneri vs Strad models
		The great Vuillaumes were made in both models as copies of the "Messie" Strad and copies of the Paganini "Canon" Del Gesu.
		As for Vuillaume Strad vs Del Gésu models, I think that the difference is in the playing style required for each instrument, in a similar way to the difference between playing a real Strad and Del Gésu.
		Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume a fine tradesman, maker, restorer, was also a gifted inventor as is demonstrated by his research in collaboration with the acoustics expert Savart.

		Vuillaume, according to the accepted accounts, kept the violin in a glass case until he died in 1875, when it was passed on to his widow and then his children.
		There's been some speculation throughout the last 100 years that the Messiah isn't a genuine Stradavari, that it's a copy made by Vuillaume, who was known for his painstaking reconstructions of the works of other violin makers.
		To Pollens, the evidence he saw was proof that, at the very least, the violin he examined wasn't the one that Cozio had passed on to Tarisio, then to Vuillaume.

	Rare bows
		Jean Adam, called „Grand Adam“, learned bowmaking from his father Jean Dominique Adam in Mirecourt from 1835.
		„Grand Adam“ was already in the third generation of bowmakers, as evidence shows that his grandfather, Jean Adam I (1767-1849), had also worked in the family workshop at this time.
		The bows of this master are rightly compared by famous soloists with the bows of his important contemporary François Xavier Tourte due to their tonal quality.

		The virtuosic compositions that were the hallmarks of nineteenth-century violin literature, would not have been possible on the original instruments made by Antonio Stradivari.
		Violin makers, such as Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume and firms like Hill, were called upon to literally disassemble and rebuild a majority of the pre-existing instruments.
		Adaptations included lengthening the neck and changing its angle, a longer bass bar, and new types of bridges and strings.

		Dominique Peccatte, (who is presumed to have learned his craft with Persoit, and apparently worked in the Lupot atelier as well, before a stint in the Vuillaume workshop) continued the trend with a bow patterned after Tourte’s strongest, heaviest model.
		VUILLAUME Jean Baptiste (1798 - 1875) was trained as a violin maker in Mirecourt and later became one of the most famous French violin makers of the early 19th century.
		None of these modifications or experiments have had a lasting impact on subsequent makers however, and Vuillaume’s most important legacy to the art of bow-making was his capacity to extract the highest quality output from the many bow-makers who worked for him.
