Charles Georges Brugere
b. Nov 10, 1865, at Mirecourt; son of Charles Joseph Brugere, a maker of guitars. Apprenticed, 1878, at Mirecourt, to Etienne Drouin. 1882, went to Lyons to work for two and a half years under Paul Blanchard; then after nine months with Paul Bailly at Paris, entered the workshop of Gand & Bernardel, where he remained from Dec, 1885, till 1892. He succeeded Eugene Henry, Sept. 22, 1892, at 151, rue St. Martin, Paris. As he and three workmen are almost exclusively employed in repairing old instruments, he only makes about twelve new instruments a year; these, whether violins, violas, or violoncellos, are consecutively numbered as made, and only when his own personal work are labelled with his name. He follows the Stradivari pattern, and uses good oil varnish, varying in colour from yellow to golden-red. He exhibited at Lyons, 1894, a double quintet of instruments ; the violins and violoncellos were reported of powerful and sweet tone, and the double-bass as equally excellent on all four strings; he was awarded the first silver medal.
