Pere Pillement?
What's the story on this maker?

story?

Can you be more specific with your question? Pillement is a listed maker, no mystery there. Pere' is or means the father, or head of that family in the makers. Like with Bernardel, the eldest Auguste Sebastien is known as Bernardel Pere'. Pere' is a title perhaps self proclaimed. It would be called or listed as Pillement Pere'. He worked at Mirecourt but labeled some of his instruments as made in Paris which they say isn't so! |
Sure. I'm looking at a fine double bass attributed to Pillement Pere and I'm curious about any information about the maker that folks may have.

Need more? His favorite book? Favorite food? Hobbies? Sports? :p Post some pictures of the bass if you can. Here is one I found on line; http://www.worldofbasses.de/Instrume...ment-front.jpghttp://www.worldofbasses.de/Instrume...ement-back.jpghttp://www.worldofbasses.de/Instrume...side-right.jpg I have a picture of a bass I saw years ago when looking for/at basses and the Scroll was the same with the built-in raised cheeks as this so that was probably this same maker but was Gamba shaped; http://www.worldofbasses.de/Instrume...roll-right.jpghttp://www.worldofbasses.de/Instrume...croll-back.jpg This scroll/pegbox may be the best way to ID them as it looks to be his trademark. |
The bass I saw was not a Pillement, no way, no how. But thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, there are no photos of the bass. It did look French to my untrained eye. It was nice but needed extensive repairs.
I'm not trying to waste anyone's time or efforts... I thought there may be others interested in this particular maker and possibly find someone who owns a Pillement. Perhaps someone may show up with more info. Thanks for the photos, they were helpful. |
