Louis Guersan, Paris 1737.<\/p>\n

Before being made and presented in the 19th century as masterpieces, the kits were used by dancing masters to set the rhythm and nuances during their lessons.<\/p>\n

Louis Nicolas Guersan, 1700-1770, received ma\u00eetre luthier on February 16, 1723 and elected sworn accountant of the corporation on November 23, 1747, is considered the most famous Parisian luthier of his time. In addition to high-quality instruments, we owe him \u201can original varnish formula: alcohol varnish, which will quickly constitute one of the distinctive features of French violin making.
