About Dominique Peccatte:

Dominique Peccatte, born 1810, was an apprentice luthier in Mirecourt, France and by the age of 16 or 17 found his way into the workshops of the master Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume. During his decade of working with Vuillaume, Peccatte studied with Jean Pierre Marie Persois and also met Francois Tourte – the maker whose ‘hatchet-shaped’ bow tip he would ultimately adapt to great effect.

Peccatte famously also taught and collaborated with Joseph Henry and Pierre Simon. Peccatte’s brother Francois and nephew Charles were also renowned bow-makers.

Peccatte bows were a little more sturdy than other French bows of the era, and although not quite as flexible as his peer’s creations, his weightier constructions allowed the musician to obtain greater volume and rich articulation, well suited to the concert halls of the time.
