Emile Boulangeot (1877 - 1944)

EMILE BOULANGEOT completed his apprenticeship under Emile Laurent in Mirecourt in 1893 and joined Gustav Bernadel’s workshop in Paris. BOULANGEOT stayed with CARESSA & FRANCAIS when they succeeded Gustav BERNADEL in 1901. In 1909, he left Paris to join PAUL BLANCHARD’s workshop in Lyon. After the death of Paul Blanchard in 1912, BOULANGEOT took over his workshop and became the official violin maker of Lyon’s Music Conservatory. He retired in 1928.  We are happy to own one of the 28 cellos worldwide, including the original bridge.
