    2. JACQUOT (Fernand) — Nancy. Contemporary master maker born in 1884. Son and successor of the one preceding. Pupil of Mougenot-Gauché. Valuable modern make.
    4. JEANDEL (Pierre-Napoléon) — Rouen 1812-1879. Born at Courcelles-sous-Vaudremont (Meurthe-et-Moselle). Pupil of Charlotte of Mirecourt. Make of good aspect, but the work being a little heavy, causes the tone sometimes to lack clearness. His substantial red varnish on a yellow ground, lacks transparency. Nevertheless, his instruments are somewhat interesting. This maker has left very few 'cellos. The only one we have seen and handled bore the No 1. Its workmanship was very fine. Flat model.
    6. JOMBARD (Paul) — Paris. Born in 1868. Contemporary master maker and expert. Pupil of D.-N. Audinot. After a finishing term with Gand & Bernardel, he started business for himself, living in succession at 20, rue Rochechouart, rue du Faubourg-Poissonnière and now at 37, rue de Rome. A genuine and sincere artist, he enjoys a well-deserved reputation. No 409.
