MORIZOT, René Born 1917, d.2001 Mirecourt France. Sixth son of Louis Morizot, above, and the last of the dynasty, known as ‘Le Gamin’. Violin maker and pupil of Audinot, himself a popular and influential teacher. Established independently in Mirecourt from 1933, but spent five years as a German prisoner of war. Prolific maker of Stradivari and Guarneri models: violins, violas and cellos. Fine workmanship and materials. The violin produces a big warm open and strong sound with a lot of personallity and a very strong projection; so it can be used as a solo-instrument.
