Total number of Vuillaume doublebasses?
Do we have any reasonable guesstimates on the total number of Vuillaume doublebasses produced?

George Gemunder, Honore Derazey, Nicolas Francois Vuillaume and possibly Ludwig Neuner made basses for Vuillaume as well as possibly one bass by Jack Lott that to me looks 100% English in its pattern. Georges Mougenot, who took over the shop of NF Vuillaume may have also been involved in bass making for JB as the Mougenot I have is pretty much a Vuillaume in its modelling and F-holes. |

Ken,
Thanks. Maybe it would it be better to ask "How many Vuillaume school basses were made? What are our best guesstimate ranges?" |

Is there a reason why you are asking this other than a slow Friday afternoon? |

Ken,
I'm really asking a pretty simple question here. Any estimates based on however wide the definition goes for any of the guesstimators would be welcome. Would that be dozens? Hundreds? What do you all think? Last edited by Steve Swan; 04-06-2012 at 06:07 PM. |

I don't think it's a simple question, either.
Unless you're happy with a simple "No" to the first question! |

ok..

Makers include the Bernardel's, the Gand's, the Barbe's, the Jacquet's, the J.T. Lamy factory, the Claudot's, and other makers of the period that made that model including those that either worked directly for or supplied Vuillaume that may have also made basses of the same model under their own label. Not every bass from the makers listed above were on that model but I think most Violin cornered basses were. I have personally seen basses from every one of those makers as well so this is not guess work or a quote from some book! |
