About the maker

Jean-Jacques Millant (1928–1998) was an influential French bowmaker. He was a son of violin maker Roger Millant and apprenticed in Mirecourt, France by the Morizot Brothers from 1946–1948. He then worked with his uncle, Roger and Max Millant in Paris until 1950, after which he opened his own shop in Paris.

In 1970, Millant was awarded the title Un de Meilleurs Ouvriers de France.

His bows are strongly influenced by Dominique Peccatte and he enjoyed great esteem among the most highly demanding professionals.

Millant bows function much as good facsimile Peccattes. The combination of choice of materials, weight, strength, and flexibility make them excellent playing tools.

Jean-Jacques Millant is considered one of the most important bowmakers of the latter part of the 20th century.
