[Profile]
French maker. He was interested in guitars from a young age, but never made a living at it, and in 1976 he took a job at the Ministry of Finance in Paris. While working as a civil servant, he came to know Robert Bouchet (1898-1986), a master craftsman living in Montmartre at the time, in 1979, and began to learn guitar making directly from him.
He built his first guitar in 1983, but Bouchet encouraged him to remain an amateur and build guitars at his leisure, so he continued to build steadily at the rate of one per year while continuing to work as a civil servant.
His guitars became highly sought-after items by enthusiasts because of the high degree of perfection that one would not expect from an amateur maker and the small number of guitars he produced, especially since he was the only successor after Bouchet's death.
When Bouchet died in 1986, he finished Bouchet's unfinished last work, and Bouchet's widow gave him all the tools and wood that her husband had used before his death. He continued to work as a civil servant and produce one guitar a year, but retired a few years ago and now devotes himself to making guitars, producing three to four a year, and the demand for his work is particularly outstanding in Japan.

[Description]
This guitar was made in 2003, and is a piece with back and sides made of Central and South American rosewood, which is no longer produced. The sound has a distinctive French character of gentle but at the same time, it has a core and a dignified sonority.
It has a unique profundity that differs from the grandeur of the German style or the gorgeousness of the Spanish style, and this is a point that is well suited to the Japanese taste.
There is a scratch near the bridge where the first string hit, but other than that, there are only small scratches and there is no history of repairs such as cracks.
