Born in Dijon in 1960 to a musical family, Jacques Poullot studied piano and violin at the Dijon Conservatory. In 1976 he entered the famous school of violin and bow making in Mirecourt studying bow making with the great Bernard Ouchard. At that time Ouchard’s students were to become many of the greatest bow makers of their generation. After graduation he returned to Dijon and worked with Albert Claudot before setting up his own workshop in 1987. Since then he has won numerous awards for his fine bows. He has also built a reputation for his expertise in fine old bows. We are pleased to offer this bow as an excellent example of his superb work.
