Violin maker
(1788 – 1870)
Nicolas Simoutre apprenticed to Lupot in Paris. He established himself in Mirecourt in 1817.

He is credited with the creation of approximately 1, 000 violins and cellos between 1817 and 1838. His work featured good Cremonese models, characterized by accurate craftsmanship but thin spirit varnish. Réparé par Simoutre à Metz en 1862.
