Charles Jean-Baptiste Collin-Mézin ​fils, Paris/Mirecourt 1924

Charles Jean-Baptiste Collin-Mézin fils (b.1870, d.1934) was the son of one of the preeminent luthiers of his time and, like his father, was named, “Officier de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts” in 1911. Following his father’s death in 1923, he relocated the workshop to Mirecourt (although he continued using "Paris" on his labels) and his work became increasingly personal and individualistic as we see in this example. This instrument is in pristine condition and reflects the maker’s meticulous workmanship. It is everything one could wish for in his father’s instruments but at a more modest price. It has a bright and well-balanced tone with quick response and requires little effort in the bow and left hand.
