Maker Overview
Life
Eulry produced violins, violas, and cellos of good quality. His works can sometimes bear labels other than his own name, such as those of Dieudonné and Hilaire. Instruments he made with his own hand were seldom labeled with his name, though some from his later period at Hilaire might have “Fait par Jean Eulry” handwritten on the label. He is known to have been a great teacher, and a number of prominent violin makers today were trained by him. He died on May 5, 1986
