"The St. Cecile violins were sold in J.B. Vuillaume's Paris shop to his less affluent clients. They were usually made in Mirecourt by Nicolas Vuillaume and were varnished and finished in the Paris workshop. The image of St. Cecile (the patron saint of musicians) was applied to the upper back."
how many were made? |

Reading Jay Ifshin's website, eh?
A good many... I don't know if detailed records of production exist as they do for his first quality instruments, but Roger Millant mentions seeing them numbered into the 700s. Problem is there seems to be no proof the numbering for the St. Cecile instruments started with "1".
BTW, The Stentor models (I, II & III) were the next step down at the Vuillaume shop. _________________ Jeffrey
