Violin Bow by Louis Joseph Morizot Pere 1950

Louis Joseph Morizot (1874 – 1957), or Morizot père, learned bow making from Eugène Cuniot-Hury and Charles Nicolas Bazin, for whom he worked from about 1901 to about 1914. Morizot then began working for Eugène Sartory, though his model hewed closely to the work of Bazin and he continued to use miter joints for some time. By 1920 he had settled on a definitive model, which employs Sartory-style frogs and is generally refined and graceful.

Morizot's sons began to assist him around 1920, and with their help the Mirecourt workshop became extraordinarily productive and well-known, supplying numerous firms in France and abroad.
