Charles François Gand is one of France's most renowned violin makers. His instruments represent the characteristic style of French violin making from this period and show clear influences from Nicolas Lupot. They are distinguished by their powerful and bold expressiveness. The varnish is a rich reddish-brown or orange-brown tone on a golden or yellow background. Gand made a significant contribution to the development of violin making with his masterful violins, and his legacy continues to influence the work of many violin makers around the world today.
