William Henley's Dictionary of Violin and Bow Makers
states the following about the maker.
Audinot, André
Born in Mirecourt 1880. Apprenticed to Grillon and Gustave Bazin. Worked in ateliers of Mougenot and Deroux. Gained further experience in Switzerland and Germany, finally with Silvestre and Maucotel in Paris. Established own workshop in the rue de Rome, Paris, 1911 with Felix Bollecker as partner. Died 1954. Beautifully designed instruments of pliant grace, superfine workmanship resulting in perfection. Let those who have been weakly or unwarily prejudiced against French instruments have the goodness to bear in mind that these violins are not simply beautiful to look at but are as beautiful to play upon..
