Alfred VIDOUDEZ
Geneva. Born in this town in 1879. Disciple of the French School through the thorough studies he made, first at Mirecourt with Justin Bazin, afterwards with Mougenot at Brussels and lastly in Paris under the guidance of Leon Bernardel. The model of his violins does not considerably differ from the pattern of Stradivarius or Guarnerius, but he is not a servile copyist and his own personality may be traced in the general outline, the sound holes and the scroll. The thick brown- red oil varnish he used at the beginning of his career is now replaced by a lighter and more supple coating of gold-yellow or orange-red shade. He is the author of a small book entitled : « Quelques considerations sur mon metier » (« A few remarks upon my profession ») which was the subject of a lecture to the Industrial and Commercial Class of the Society of Arts at Geneva.
