William Henley's Dictionary of Violin and Bow Makers
states the following about the maker.
Chenantais & Le Lyonnais.
Born 1854. Dr. Jules Edward Chenantais. Celebrated doctor of medicine and occultist, also amateur cellist at Nantes (France). Formulated certain constructive principles, and investigated acoustical phenomena of the Maggini, Amati and Stradivarius. Collaborated with Kaul (violin maker) produced a cello that gained easy victory over a Strad. (in full sonority of tone) at a contest in Paris in 1910. Violins had a similar triumph in 1912 and their remarkable success in tonal suavity as well as brilliance was attributed to the perfection of their structure (as regulated by Chenantais) rather than to any so called secret of varnish. Subsequently associated with Le Lyonnais in producing 'ideal tone' instruments.
