Career
Francois Hippolyte CAUSSIN was the son and pupil of François CAUSSIN, who himself was a former pupil of Jules GAILLARD.
Like his father, Francois Hippolyte CAUSSIN worked with GAILLARD, in Mirecourt, for a period. He then joined his father’s workshop in Neufchâteau.
He succeeded his father, continuing the family tradition by producing fine copies of Italian instruments.
Labels & brands
CAUSSIN’s instruments generally bear labels of Italian makers and, more rarely, a printed label : “Caussin Luthier / Neufchâteau (Vosges).”
