The manufacture of copper musical instruments was created in France by the Courtois family in 1789 rue Mazarine in Paris. In the Museum of the National Superior Conservatory of Paris, there is a cavalry trumpet marked "Courtois, Rue Mazarine", which belonged to the estafette of the parliamentary officer sent by Bonaparte to the headquarters of Saint-Jean-d'Acre in 1799 .
In 1803, Antoine Courtois (1770-1855), one of the creator's sons, settled in Cairo Street. Among the instruments of its manufacture, one finds a trumpet in the shape of a half-moon, emitting sounds similar to those of the horn, a bugle of infantry adopted in 1823 by the ministry of the War, a trombone with slide, as well as the first piston cones, key bugles, corns and ophicleids.
In 1844, Antoine Courtois Jr succeeded his father and created, thanks to the collaboration of eminent artists, the famous Arban system piston horn. Since then we owe to his collaborators and successors very important creations and numerous acoustic and mechanical improvements. A unique list of awards at international exhibitions attests to the constant success and universal celebrity of the Antoine Courtois Paris brand.
In 1956, Mr. Paul Gaudet centralized his company in Amboise in Indre et Loire. Mr. Jacques Gaudet, his son, perpetuated the tradition of quality and technical perfection, thanks to a constant modernization of manufacturing processes and a close collaboration with the greatest artists of Europe.
In 1994, the company joined a large European group, JA Musik and it was in 2006 that the Antoine Courtois company found its French origins by joining the Buffet Crampon group, another prestigious wind instrument manufacturer founded in Paris in 1825 .
Musicians around the world are unanimous in recognizing that an instrument by Antoine Courtois is a guarantee of technical perfection and quality.
