In touch with today's composers, the quartet is at the origin of several creations (B. Dubedout, P. Burgan, P. Jodlowski, L. Martin, Ph. Geiss, G. Gastinel, P.Y. Level, V. Paulet). Philippe Lecocq has recorded eight CDs distributed by Naxos and Harmonia Mundi.

Series III alto
The 'Series III' Alto is no doubt the most performing of our catalogue. It is a very accurate model in terms of tuning and emission. It offers a great richness of tone.
