Jean Pierre Marie Persoit (1782~1854)
Jean Pierre Marie Persoit是Jean Baptiste Vuillaume第一个雇用的制弓师。Persoit在Vuillaume的工作室待了至少15年(Millant的说法是1823~1841，Vatelot的说法是1828~1843)。
不过他在Vuillaume工作室做的弓仍然难以辨识。
他最好的几把弓，是比较接近François Tourte的风格(尤其是他的八角弓)，数量虽然很少，但是还是看的出差异性。
Persoit部分的作品就比仿效Tourte来的有个人风格。大部分都会短一点点。他印记则是都会标记在尾库的下方。他的作品不多但是大部分都有珍贵。一般认为Persoit在1854年离开巴黎之后就退休了。有些人则是认为Dominique Peccatte曾经是他的学生。
Superior maker - also worked in Dublin. "Old Panormo" Don\'t believe 1740 date.
Vincenzo Panormo was probably born Vincenzo Trusiano. The name Panormo is the latinised form of Palermo, and he is thought to have adopted it after he left Sicily. Panormo almost certainly learned the craft of violin making in Naples, where he was living in the 1760s, and has long been assumed to have been a pupil of one of the Gaglianos. Little is known about his early life, but we do know for certain that he moved to Paris and was actively making instruments there in the 1770s and 1780s. He left Paris in 1789, no doubt as a result of the revolution, and moved to the safety of London, where he remained for the rest of his life, except for a short period spent in Dublin in 1791-2. Today Panormo\'s instruments are generally considered to be English, although his best work does show a certain Italian flair. His main influences were Stradivari and Amati . His skilled craftsmanship and fine choice of materials contribute to his reputation as the finest English maker of his day, and arguably the finest of all the English makers.
