Francois Feury

Son-in-law of Leclerc the violin maker. Was working at rue de l'Arbre sec, Paris, about 1750-60. His violins are on a small pattern, the sound-holes are small and well-cut, the varnish is a thick red, the work is good for the period. A guitar and a double-bass of his have been seen, but he devoted most of his time to making wind instruments. and " F. Feury, rue de Fosses, St-Germain-l'Auxerrois proche la rue de I'Arbre-sec a Paris, 17—."
