- Benoit_Joseph_Boussu abstract "Benoit Joseph Boussu (born April 8, 1703, Fourmies, Nord, France; died September 1773, Avesnes-sur-Helpe, France) was an 18th-century French violin maker.Boussu was active in the Brussels area during the middle of the eighteenth century (c.1749 - c.1760). His making method incorporated both local archaic as well as foreign influences. The Musical Instrument Museum (Brussels) has several Boussu violins and cellos in their collection; two of these instruments are in unaltered condition. Boussu's instruments feature a very remarkable scroll with an extra half turn and a yellow-brown varnish.Boussu was born on April 8, 1703 in Fourmies, Nord, France, and for the first half of his working life he worked in Avesnes-sur-Helpe, France, as a notary, where his father and grandfather also were notaries. In his 40s, he must have made some profound decisions: he and his family moved north, subsequently to Liège (c.1749-c.1750), Etterbeek (c.1751-1753) and Brussels (1753-c.1760), and at the same time he commenced a ten-year period of intensive violin making. Just as abruptly as he had started, he seems to have abandoned this newly acquired profession, and in the 1760s moved again, possibly to the Amsterdam area, where three of his children married and subsequently lived, or otherwise directly back to his native area of France (Avesnes-sur-Helpe), where he died in September 1773.".
