The joy of playing, the exploration of sound, artistic creation: these are among the many leitmotifs that guide my work. The musician should feel as if the bow is an extension of his body. This is what I seek to accomplish.

Passionate about music, lovers of noble materials, and always attracted to manual know-how, it is with happiness that I exercise the profession of archatre. Going back to the source, I worked for several years in France alongside Blaise Emmelin; then in Brussels, within the Bernard House, for Pierre Guillaume. I have also restored many old bows, respecting traditional techniques.

As a lover of music, an admirer of fine materials, and as one who has always been fascinated by those with manual expertise, I naturally embraced the profession of bowmaker. I worked for several years in France in the company of Blaise Emmelin, and after in Brussels at "Maison Bernard" for Pierrre Guillaume. Here, driven by a respect for traditional bowmaking techniques, I was also trained in the art of bow restoration.

While building on the basis of respect and knowledge of traditional methods, I like to express my creativity in the service of that of the musician. Based in Montreal, I design violin, viola, cello and double bass bows, of which you can discover some models as you go along these pages.

Inspired by a background founded on respect and knowledge of traditional bowmaking practices, it gives me great pleasure knowing that my creativity serves to foster the creativity of the musician. Based in Montreal, I create bows for violin, viola, cello and bass - a sampling of which I invites you to discover in the following pages.
