Hubert Dufour has dedicated himself to bowed
strings instruments for more than two decades.
Besides making baroque and modern quartet instruments, he has specialized in
making viols.
- His concert instruments are designed
after the French, English, Italian and German masters from the XVIth to the
XVIIIth century.
- The Maple Song Series (“Gamme Chant d’Erable”) offers affordable and carefully finished
learning instruments, designed to produce pleasant and well balanced sounds.
- His electric viol brings
to contemporary music a completely renewed early instrument.
- And dont miss to call on the Old woman of the world...
Besides, Hubert Dufour also takes an active
part in the current research on medieval musical instruments in particular medieval
fiddles.
He creates instruments inspired by iconography — an infinitely rich source which demands a nuanced interpretation of
archeology and art and cultural history as well as a knowledge of the various
technical innovations of past centuries.
Located in Rians, Hubert Dufour’s
workshop is in the heart of a medieval Provence village where fountains and
cicadas sing together, accompagning the work of his tools.
