Joseph Pons et son fr\u00e8re Louis, avant Lac\u00f4te, font \u00e9voluer la guitare et inventent ce qu\u2019on appelle commun\u00e9ment \u201cla guitare romantique\u201d. N\u00e9anmoins, c\u2019est Lac\u00f4te qui va r\u00e9ellement diffuser leurs avanc\u00e9es, les poursuivre et finalement les d\u00e9passer. Parmi les innovations que Lac\u00f4te reprit sur Pons, on pense notamment aux barres du bas de table, aux chevilles \u00e0 papillon et aux t\u00eates en huit ou en palette inspir\u00e9es des guitares napolitaines. Un mod\u00e8le de 1830, pass\u00e9 en vente \u00e0 Vichy Ench\u00e8res en 2019 (le 9 novembre 2019), offre un bel exemple de t\u00eate en huit pourvue de chevilles \u00e0 papillon et est tr\u00e8s proche <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earlyromanticguitar.com\/erg\/pics\/Pons_1825_front.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">des guitares de Pons<\/a>.

Lac\u00f4te d\u00e9veloppera ses propres inventions. Il passera sa vie \u00e0 chercher comment am\u00e9liorer la sonorit\u00e9 des guitares, consid\u00e9rant les avanc\u00e9es techniques de son \u00e9poque et les nouveaux mat\u00e9riaux. Il s\u2019int\u00e9ressera notamment aux diff\u00e9rentes essences de bois, auxquelles il appliquera plusieurs traitements pour en modifier la teinte et en parfaire les qualit\u00e9s sonores. Le luthier travaillera \u00e9galement sur un syst\u00e8me de barrage de la guitare qu\u2019il conservera toute sa vie :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLac\u00f4te, observant les musiciens italiens qui font les grandes heures de la musique \u00e0 Paris, a l\u2019id\u00e9e de modifier la barre plac\u00e9e entre le chevalet et le tasseau du bas. Il l\u2019amincit au milieu lui laissant deux pointes sur les c\u00f4t\u00e9s, raidissant ainsi la table comme le font les fameuses moustaches italiennes\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Ibid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Au d\u00e9but de sa carri\u00e8re jusque dans les ann\u00e9es 1830, il met progressivement au point l\u2019un de ses deux mod\u00e8les principaux, \u00e0 l\u2019allure plut\u00f4t sobre et aux chevilles simples ou \u00e0 frein. La guitare de la vente du 1er mai 2021, r\u00e9alis\u00e9e durant les ann\u00e9es 1820, offre un exemple de cette \u201csobri\u00e9t\u00e9\u201d du premier mod\u00e8le.

Lac\u00f4te met au point un syst\u00e8me permettant de cacher les m\u00e9caniques et de les enclaver dans la t\u00eate. D\u00e8s lors, ce nouveau proc\u00e9d\u00e9 modifie l\u2019apparence de ses instruments et participe au d\u00e9veloppement d\u2019un nouveau mod\u00e8le de guitare plus personnel. La t\u00eate &#8211; et la forme g\u00e9n\u00e9rale &#8211; sont quelque peu agrandies, sans toutefois que les principes constructifs pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment mis au point, tels que le barrage, ne soient abandonn\u00e9s. La nouvelle invention de Lac\u00f4te a des int\u00e9r\u00eats certes esth\u00e9tiques, mais aussi pratiques, puisque les m\u00e9caniques cach\u00e9es sont prot\u00e9g\u00e9es de l\u2019humidit\u00e9 et permettent au musicien de s\u2019accorder plus facilement. La guitare dat\u00e9e de 1844, de la vente Vichy Ench\u00e8res du 1<sup>er<\/sup> mai 2021, est un bel exemple de ce deuxi\u00e8me type de mod\u00e8le con\u00e7u par Lac\u00f4te.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>La forme de la t\u00eate &#8211; sur laquelle se trouve grav\u00e9e \u201cLac\u00f4te Paris\u201d &#8211; est caract\u00e9ristique de la production de l\u2019\u00e9poque du luthier, comme en atteste <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kentguitarclassics.com\/classical-guitars\/lacote\/lacote-of-paris-1840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">cet instrument de 1841<\/a>. En outre, la guitare de 1844 a l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat de conserver son \u00e9tiquette d\u2019origine mentionnant les deux m\u00e9dailles tout juste remport\u00e9es par Lac\u00f4te lors des Expositions nationales de 1839 et 1844. En bon \u00e9tat, il s\u2019agit d\u2019un int\u00e9ressant t\u00e9moignage du deuxi\u00e8me mod\u00e8le d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 par Lac\u00f4te, d\u2019autant plus que l\u2019on retrouve, en France, assez peu d\u2019instruments du ma\u00eetre r\u00e9alis\u00e9s entre 1835-1850. En effet, suite aux Trois Glorieuses et \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9pid\u00e9mie de chol\u00e9ra de 1832, Lac\u00f4te fut de ceux qui se tourn\u00e8rent vers le march\u00e9

The high regard in which he is held is also attributable to his constant efforts to improve the guitar and perfect its playing, whilst remaining at the service of musicians. Indeed, throughout his career, he developed innovations to increase the power and range of the instrument, but also its playability. His was a long career, and his last instrument, dated 1868, was made when he was 83 years old. We don\u2019t know much about his life. He joined the Parisian workshop of Pons in 1810 and worked alongside him until 1818. All indications are that this was Joseph Pons, not his father C\u00e9sar, who was active in Grenoble and whose output was more conventional<a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2021\/04\/01\/rene-lacote\/#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2021\/04\/01\/rene-lacote\/#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;Sinier de Ridder, \u201cLac\u00f4te \u00e0 Paris\u201d, Conf\u00e9rence donn\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019occasion des f\u00eates de Sainte-C\u00e9cile, patronne des musiciens et des luthiers, \u00e0 Mirecourt le 22 novembre 2003, pour le GLAAF, Groupement des Luthiers et Archetiers d\u2019Art de France.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Thereafter, Lac\u00f4te continued to work in Paris, at various locations, as demonstrated by the labels in the two guitars in the 1 May 2021 auction which include his two main addresses: \u201cPlace des Victoires\u201d and \u201cRue des Martyrs\u201d. Unfortunately, there are barely any extant historical documents regarding his private life, his entourage, or professional relationships. The running of his workshop remains a mystery and only one of his pupils is officially known to us: Huel. It is believed that he ran the Lac\u00f4te &amp; C.ie firm, on behalf of Lac\u00f4te, until 1862<a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2021\/04\/01\/rene-lacote\/#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. His guitars, sometimes very similar to those of his master, attest to this relationship. Finally, although no other pupil of his is known, the innovations developed by Lac\u00f4te were very popular, and quickly adopted by the other French makers. From 1840, guitars incorporating his construction principles could be found in Mirecourt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a

by his first formative years with Joseph Pons. The latter was very renowned and enjoyed a privileged position, working for the most prestigious patrons, including the famous musicians of Napol\u00e9on. Before Lac\u00f4te, Joseph Pons and his brother Louis made changes to the guitar and invented what is commonly referred to as the \u2018Romantic guitar\u2019. However, it is Lac\u00f4te who can be credited with spreading their innovations, continuing their experimentation and ultimately surpassing them. The innovations from Pons that Lac\u00f4te incorporated into his instruments include the bars at the lower end of the front, the butterfly tuning pegs and the eight and palette-shaped heads inspired by Neapolitan guitars. An example from 1830, which was offered for sale by Vichy Ench\u00e8res on 9 November 2019, provides a great example of an eight-shaped head fitted with butterfly pegs, and is very similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earlyromanticguitar.com\/erg\/pics\/Pons_1825_front.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guitars by Pons<\/a>. The Mus\u00e9e de la Musique in Paris also has in its collections<a href=\"https:\/\/mimo-international.com\/mimo\/image.ashx?q=http:\/\/www.mimo-international.com\/media\/CM\/IMAGE\/CMIM000016152.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> a guitar of this type, made in 1833<\/a>, denoting the importance of the influence of Pons over Lac\u00f4te from 1810 to 1830.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In addition, the collaboration between Pons and Lac\u00f4te led them to use perfectly seasoned wood, thus mitigating the risk of deformation and cracking, and ensuring the better quality of their instruments. They also shared the same method for setting the neck, inserting the heel in solid wood or using a round shaped gluing joint to strengthen the instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe back of the guitar was also subject to modifications as a result of the Pons-Lac\u00f4te collaboration. It was almost exclusively in one piece, avoiding the need for a back joint and joint reinforcement. The front continued to be made from a single piece of wood cut in two halves.

a long lasting influence on his work, he also developed his own innovations. He spent most of his life trying to improve the sound of his guitars, incorporating the technical advances of his time and emerging new materials. He took a particular interest in the various types of wood available, to which he applied different treatments to modify their colour and improve their resonance. He also worked on a new bracing system, which he went on to use for the rest of his life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter carefully observing the Italian musicians performing in high places in Paris, Lac\u00f4te had the idea of modifying the bar placed between the bridge and the bottom block. He made it thinner in the middle, with a pointed shape either side, thus stiffening the front by aping the effect of the famous Italian moustachios.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=11004&amp;action=edit#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Ibid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>From the beginning of his career until 1830, he gradually perfected one of his two main models, of plain appearance and with simple tuning pegs or mechanical ones. The guitar for sale on 1 May 2021, made in the 1820s, is an example of these plain instruments based on this first model. They combined the teachings of Pons and incorporated the first innovations of Lac\u00f4te. <a href=\"#lacote-place-victoires-en\">Its label includes the address of the workshop on \u201cPlaces des Victoires\u201d<\/a>, from where he operated from 1823 to 15 April 1829<a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=11004&amp;action=edit#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. A guitar dated 1829 and for auction at Vichy Ench\u00e8res in 2004 was also on this model and had retained its original mechanical tuning pegs, heavily inspired by those of Pons. It is worth noting that, despite being from the same period, this instrument and the one from the 1820s in the 1 May 2021 sale were produced in different workshops, based on the information on their respective labels. The one in the next sale is from the workshop on \u201cPlace des Victoires\u201d, whereas the one in the 2004 sale was <a href=\"#lacote-richelieu-1829-en\">made on rue de Richelieu, shortly after the workshop move on 15 April 1829.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Sinier de Rider, <em>La guitare, Paris, 1650

devised a system to conceal the peg mechanisms and encase them within the head. This new system modified the appearance of his instruments and contributed to the development of a more personal model. The head, as well as the overall shape of the instrument, were slightly enlarged, whilst the model retained the previously established construction principles, for instance the new bracing system. The new concealed peg system had aesthetic advantages but also practical ones, as the peg mechanisms were protected from humidity and allowed the musician to tune the instrument more easily. The guitar dated 1844, for sale at Vichy Ench\u00e8res on 1 May 2021, is a great example of this second model created by Lac\u00f4te. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The shape of the head \u2013 which is engraved with the brand \u201cLac\u00f4te Paris\u201d \u2013 is typical of the production of that time for this maker, as further demonstrated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kentguitarclassics.com\/classical-guitars\/lacote\/lacote-of-paris-1840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">this other instrument of 1841<\/a>. Moreover, the guitar of 1844 still bears the original label mentioning the two medals won by Lac\u00f4te at the Expositions Nationales of 1839 and 1844. It is in good condition, and provides an interesting insight into the second model developed by Lac\u00f4te, in particular since few examples made by this master during the period 1835 to 1850 can be found in France. This is due to the French Revolution of 1830 and a cholera pandemic in 1832, which forced some, including Lac\u00f4te, to divert their production towards the London market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-23 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

In particular, he formed a close association with Fernando Sor, a guitarist and composer very famous in London, who played some of his instruments.
