The beginning of a long story
“It all started with my grandfather. He got into bar turning in Mont-Saxonnex, at the time, out of necessity. The company has grown over time and specialized in aeronautics and small series. I created the first mouthpieces within this company and to allow this product to fully exist, I separated from this company and recreated an entirely dedicated entity with the help of my cousin Frédéric ANTHOINE at Magland and this for a year and a half now.”
love of work
“I am the happiest in the world! I am lucky to do a job that I love. I wake up with joy and butterflies in my stomach and when I have a new order it's like a Christmas present! My two passions are complementary, one cannot go without the other and I would be unhappy without them.”
More than a passion, it's a way of life
“I have two skills in life, bar-cutting and music. I combined them in a profession that is quite rare in France, the creation of mouthpieces for trumpets but also for trombones and all instruments of the brass family. In France, I am the only one who exports abroad and who really has a wide range. It's a niche market, in the world there are few people who produce mouthpieces.
My parents paid for music lessons for me and at the same time I started working in bar turning. One day, a person who wanted to make his own mouthpieces asked me to create the prototypes. This is how mouthpieces were born in 2009.
Life sends us signs sometimes and we have to know how to pick them up!”
Not chauvinistic but...
“Our region is the most beautiful place on Earth. There is an incredible energy and dynamism in the valley, a pulse, life! I couldn’t do my job anywhere else.”
But who can buy a mouthpiece?
"Everyone ! A gift, a need, a desire, everyone can get them, from the beginner to the experienced. The mouthpieces are made with love, it is the main ingredient in manufacturing!”
Fullness within its “reach”
“Music is a meditation, it's about internalizing yourself, emptying your mind and making each note your friend, because in a musical note you find all your joy and happiness!”
