    René Cune was born in Mirecourt, Vosges, France in 1905. He studied violinmaking under two prominent Mirecourt makers, Emile Audinot and George Apparut, and settled in his hometown, establishing his own atelier. He is one of the few Mirecourt violinmakers who survived both world wars. Fortunately, he was not employed to fight in the Second World War, and he was still too young to fight in the First World War. He made violins and cellos and specialised later in making double basses (see photo, taken in 1957). 
    (Ref: René Vannes: Dictionery Universelle des Luthiers.)
    This rare cello, made in 1944(!) while the Second World War was still raging, impresses with a rich, deep, silk-like sound that speaks easily and is balanced across all strings. There are no soundpost cracks! The cello carries the maker's label, and his logo is stamped inside the back in several places to warrant authenticity in the future (such as now!).
