Detail Introduction
Born 1730. Worked at Mirecourt and Paris. Died 1784. Astonishingly large and rapid productivity. Violins bearing the name Chappuy, either branded or labelled, are comparatively innumerable - a phenomena giving rise to several writers’ unanimous opinions that there must have been two makers one named Nicolas, the other Augustin. We, however, rather think there was only the one individual - a maker whose output varied in merit from indifferent to first-class workmanship according to moods or to the wants of clients - a maker of astounding versatility and natural quickness.
