    2. Lupot, François, son of François Lupot (1736-1804); b. 1774, Orléans; d. Feb. 4, 1837, Paris. From 1815 until his death he worked in Paris at 18, rue d'Angivilliers at making bows only. He invented the "coulisse," or metal groove attached to the nut, and carefully fitted to the stick on which it works, a very useful contrivance, which has been in use ever since. He made beautiful bows, closely copied from the Tourte bow; they are still much liked.

    6. Lupot, Laurent, son of Jean Lupot and his wife, Laure; b. 1696, Mirecourt. In 1747 he was acting as a schoolmaster at Plombières, but in 1751 established himself as a violin maker at Luneville, where he remained till 1756. Later he moved to Orléans, and was working there, 1762. His instruments are only interesting as showing the sort of work that preceded that of Nicolas Lupot. His son, François (1736-1804), was also a maker.
