Maker Info

Albert Marloye

Born in Paris, trained as an assistant of physicist Félix Savart who specialized in acoustics. Their collaboration resolved an ongoing controversy regarding the lowest audible frequency. Marloye became a respected instrument maker. In 1840, 1845 and 1851 Marloye published catalogs explaining how to utilize his apparatus for multiple experiments and demonstrations. He conceived novel instruments called Marloye's Harp and Pan's Harp. He retired in 1874 without a direct heir. He is however widely known as the mentor of the renowned acoustic instrument maker Rudolph Koenig.
