History of the Instrument
In the history of bow making, French artisans from the early to mid-19th century are widely regarded as the finest and most influential. Among these makers, Nicolas Maline stands out as one of the most significant.
The son of violinmaker Guillaume Maline, Nicolas initially trained in violin making under his father, but unlike his brothers, he developed a strong preference for bow making. He collaborated with Pajeot and Nicolas Maire, and by 1840, he was crafting bows for J.B. Vuillaume. Maline played a key role in developing the "Vuillaume Style" frog and continued to create bows for Vuillaume for much of his career. His work was highly valued by Vuillaume, who considered Maline to be his favorite maker. His style would evolve and reflect the influence of Peccatte, as can be seen on this particular bow.
