After a year\u2019s internship with Etienne Vatelot, he became Bernard Millant\u2019s first apprentice, spending 17 years under his wing perfecting his command of the art of bowmaking, including restoration, new making and expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After winning a silver medal at the \u2018Best French Workers\u2019 competition in 1979, rewarding the advanced skills he had already acquired in his craft by that point, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois was invited to join a select group of French master violin and bow makers, the \u2018Groupement des Luthiers et Archetiers d\u2019Art de France\u2019. In 1989, after several years of apprenticeship, he decided to set up his own business in Paris. In 1996, he was appointed expert witness with the Court of Appeal in Paris. He also co-authored the reference volume <em>L\u2019Archet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2012, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois asked two young and talented bowmakers to work with him. The first to join him was Sylvain Bigot. An expert witness with the Court of Appeal in Lyon than in Paris, Sylvain had already worked with Jean-Fran\u00e7ois in his workshop for 10 years before setting up on his own as master bowmaker and receiving a \u2018Best French Workers\u2019 award in 2011. He was followed closely by Yannick Le Canu, an expert with the Court of Appeal in Douai, himself also a bowmaker and recipient of a \u2018Best French Workers\u2019 award in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have met every Friday in Paris to assess thousands of bows submitted to us for expert opinion, and a number of these have found their way into the pages of the auction catalogues of Vichy Ench\u00e8res. Each assessment is carried out by all three of us\u201d explains Yannick. One of his most memorable encounters is an example by master bowmaker Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier Tourte. \u201cThe moment our eyes met with its frog and button, all three of us immediately recognized the superior work of the greatest bowmaker in history. This exceptional bow reached a hammer price of 68,000 Euros at an auction conducted by Etienne and Guy Laurent\u201d explains Yannick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Raffin will retire at the end of the Vichy Quartet&#8217;s prestigious instrument sale on 30 November 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27160,"menu_order":4,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7889","membre-de-l-equipe","type-membre-de-l-equipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cabinet d\u2019Archetiers Experts JF Raffin - Yannick Le Canu &amp;
