Hart, George
Violin -- History; Violin makers -- Biography
CHANOT, Georges, London. Son of Georges Chanot, Paris. Assisted
Charles Maucotel, and a short time afterwards started in business on
his own behalf. He died in 1893.
CHANOT, F. Son of Georges Chanot.
CHANOT, G. A. Brother of the above-named.
CHAPPUY, Nicolas-Augustin, about 1765. His instruments are chiefly of
large pattern; nearly all are branded on the button, in a similar
manner to those of the Testore family. Chappuy differed greatly in his
work. When he used plenty of wood we have instruments of a good kind
and worthy of attention. There are many, however, having his brand
that are scarcely fit to be called Violins, so inferior is the work
and wood.
The Violin M. Habeneck used during thirty-seven years, when
instructing his class at the Conservatoire, Paris, was made by
Chappuy, and is preserved at that institution.
CHARDON, Joseph, Paris, son-in-law and pupil of Georges Chanot, Paris,
