thierryb Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 Anybody visiting Paris should go onto Rue de Rome above the St Lazare Train Station, plenty of violin dealers and repairers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascal Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 Hi, The Metro station is "Europe". But the best time to visit Paris for a violin seeker was last week-end, during the "Salon de la Musique", with plenty of good luthiers showing their work. Cheers, Pascal.

The Paris Conservatorie Museum has four Strads a Guarneri del gesu and some of the moulds from the Bisiach collection (I think) as well as some of Vuillaume's oddities. They use to have a very good recording of their instruments being played. Which reminds me they have a Nicolo Amati as well. And come to think of it was there a Andrea Guarneri as well or am I thinking of the Venician cello (Goffriller or Montagnanna). And it is just off the Rue de Rome!

Pascal Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 And there is the "Music Museum", porte de la Villette (Metro Porte de Pantin, not quite close to rue de Rome , the Paris conservatory of music partially moved from rue de Rome to la Villette), which has (if my memory is right) Sarasate's Strad, one of Grappelli's violins and Vuillaume's Octobass. Cheers, Pascal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
