FRANÇOIS NICOLAS VOIRIN (December 19, 1833, Mirecourt – 1885, Paris) The son of Nicolas Voirin, a gardener and organ builder, François Nicolas Voirin learned bow making from Jean Simon, the older brother of Nicolas Simon. He moved to Paris in 1855, where he worked for Vuillaume as a master trainer, supervising numerous apprentices. In 1870, he opened his own workshop, employing Louis Thomassin and Joseph Alfred Lamy, among others. His bows, sometimes light, are distinguished by their elegance and perfection. His widow and Louis Thomassin continued to produce bows under his name after his death.
