About Charles François Gand (Paris, 1787–1845)

Charles François Gand trained under Nicolas Lupot and eventually succeeded him as the most important violin maker in Paris. He was appointed luthier to the Royal Court of France and became renowned for crafting violins that closely followed the Stradivarian model, noted for their powerful, refined tone and visual elegance. Gand’s work represents the very best of early 19th-century French luthiery.
