François Lupot I
Bow maker / Violin maker
(1725 – 1804)
Son and pupil of Laurent Lupot, François Lupot I (1725–1804) moved through Plombières, Nancy, Stuttgart (from 1758) and finally Orléans (from around 1766) over the course of his career — a career whose real weight in French violin making rests less on his own work than on the two sons he trained: Nicolas Lupot, later celebrated as "the French Stradivari," and François Lupot II, whose own instruction he shared in part with his elder brother.
