The rebirth of a brand
The rebirth of a brand
The reissue of the brand Thibouville by two associated factors allows to offer a range of instruments dedicated to the practice of early music and its teaching.
The manufacture of these instruments benefits from the experience of these two makers enriched by their collaboration with musicians and teachers.

Baroque oboes, traverso and bassoons are made in France by
Marc Ecochard and François Masson.
Who are we ?
Marc Ecochard
has been making wind instruments since 1983: baroque and classical oboes, recorders, traditional oboes.
The great movement of rediscovery of early music and interpretation on period instruments led to the practice of the old oboe in the early 1970s. The meeting with the American oboist Bruce Haynes was decisive, both in terms of instrumental practice and that of organological and musicological research.
Marc Ecochard has also collected important documentation on European instruments of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the form of records of original instruments in museums and private collections, which allowed him to enrich his catalog with many oboes of different styles. (www.grandhautbois.com).
François Masson
is a graduate of Newark and Sherwood College and the City and Guild of London. He has been restoring and making wind instruments for twenty years by browsing the collections of the various European museums. Specializing in the manufacture of old or historical clarinets, he collaborates very early with Marc Ecochard.
The chick
The chick of Thibouville-France represents the renewal of this famous brand of instrumental invoice. It echoes the logo of Marc Ecochard "name meaning the Rooster".
