Jacob Eury

Jacob Eury (born 6 April 1765 in Mirecourt - died 7 October 1848) was a French luthier and bow maker. He was apprenticed in Mirecourt with his father as a violin maker, and later became an archetier / bow maker. According to the Paris census, he was noted having been in Paris as of 1792, where he certainly had some association with François Tourte. Throughout his life he moved many times and seems to have struggled financially. His work however never seems lacking. Top experts (such as E. Vatelot, Bernard Millant, J.F. Raffin, Paul Childs), agree that Eury's work is often compared to that of François Tourte.

"Niccolò Paganini's favorite bow was a Jacob Eury which was broken in several places when it fell off the back of his coach on tour (as he was travelling in England towards Newcastle). Paganini had taken it to Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume for repairs as they were good friends. He went on to use this bow extensively." - Gennady Filimonov
