The Millant brothers, Roger and Max Millant, managed a renowned studio for crafting French string instruments from 1923 to 1969. After World War II, they achieved numerous gold medals in international competitions, including the Cremona competition. The Millant family’s legacy dates back to 18th-century Mirecourt, and their influence remains present today in Bernard Millant’s former workshop, now led by Loïc Le Canu, and in the work of J.F. Raffin, a student of the Millants.
The 1927 Collin-Mezin violin is a masterpiece crafted in the renowned Collin-Mezin Workshop, established in the 19th century by Charles Jean Baptiste Collin-Mezin in Paris.

Known for producing vibrant instruments with outstanding sound flexibility, the workshop's tradition continues with the 1927 Collin-Mezin violin.

William Henry Dow was born in Scotland in 1834 and moved to Australia in 1855 to work as a pattern maker at Langlands Port Phillip Foundry in Melbourne. Initially a hobby, he began making violins in his workshop in South Melbourne and received medals for his work at national exhibitions. After retiring from patternmaking, he devoted himself to creating instruments and made over 200 violins by his death in 1928. It is still being determined how many instruments Dow made, as he only started numbering them when he was satisfied with their quality. One of his violins is on display at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
