Catalogue Note
Georges Cousineau (1733-1800) fut l'un des meilleurs facteurs de harpe de son temps. Il devint juré de la communauté des Maîtres faiseurs d'instruments de musique en 1769/1770. Dès 1775, il obtint le titre de : "Marchand luthier de la Reine". Après 1789, avec son fils Jacques-Georges (1760-1824), il prit comme raison sociale : "Cousineau Père et Fils marchands luthiers à Paris".
