The beginning of a long story
“It all started with my grandfather. He went into screw machining in Mont-Saxonnex, at the time, out of necessity. The company grew over time and specialized in aeronautics and small production runs. I created the first nozzles within this company, and to allow this product to fully exist, I separated from the company and recreated a completely dedicated entity with the help of my cousin Frédéric ANTHOINE in Magland, and this has been the case for a year and a half now.”
love of work
"I'm the happiest person in the world! I'm lucky enough to have a job I love. I wake up with joy and butterflies in my stomach, and when I get a new order, it's like a Christmas present! My two passions are complementary; one doesn't go without the other, and I would be unhappy without them."
More than a passion, it's a way of life
“I have two areas of expertise in life: machining and music. I've combined them in a rather rare profession in France: making mouthpieces for trumpets, but also for trombones and all the instruments in the brass family. In France, I'm the only one who exports internationally and who has a truly wide range. It's a niche market; there are very few people in the world 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 sometimes sends us signs, and we must learn to recognize them!
Not chauvinistic but...
"Our region is the most beautiful place on Earth. There's an incredible energy and dynamism in the valley, a pulse, life itself! I couldn't practice my profession anywhere else."
But who can buy a mouthpiece?
"Everyone! A gift, a need, a desire, everyone can get them, from the novice to the experienced player. The mouthpieces are made with love, that's the main ingredient in their manufacture!"
Fulfillment within his "reach"
"Music is meditation, it's about turning inward, emptying your mind and making each note your companion, because in a musical note you find all your joy and happiness!"
