Triébert WWI fl Paris 1810-early 20c.

Workshop established by (1) Georg Ludwig Wilhelm Triebert (b Stomdorf bei Alsfeld / Hessen 24 February 1770; d Paris 5 June 1848), later Frenchified as 'Guillaume Triébert' who trained (? in Laubach) as cabinet-maker; 1804 migrated on foot to Paris, where his 'livret' (police permit) dated 11 thermidor an XII (29 July 1804) was issued; he worked first for an 'ébéniste' (cabinet-maker); 1804 working for (1) N. Viennen (see WINNEN); 1810 married, became 'maître-facteur' and established; 1811 granted French citizenship; 1834 his oboes were declared by the Paris Exhibition jury to be superior to all the others there. Recognized as the outstanding oboe maker of his time; c1823 redesigned the BIZEY-model of baritone oboe for the eminent player Vogt. Of his two sons who subsequently became his successors, the elder (2) Charles Louis (b Paris 31 October 1810; d Gravelle St Maurice 18 July 1867) was primarily a professional oboist and teacher, but was acknowledged as being responsible for much of the technical development. The younger son (3) Frédéric (b Paris 8 May/June 1813; d ibid 19 March 1878) who trained as a metal engraver, also studied oboe; 1839 oboist at Opéra comique; 1845 married, when described as 'facteur d'instruments de musique' and probably by now successor to father; 1845 signatory of letter to War Ministry protesting about (2) A. SAX; 1853 as 'Triébert & Cie.' with MARZOLI in partnership for a period of ten years; 1855 collaboration with BOEHM over the application of his system of keywork to tubes that he had supplied of both oboe and bassoon; 1855 his prospectus listed a complete range of oboes and bassoons, including many with Boehm-system keywork; 1867 on the death of (2) Charles, LORÉE became foreman; 1872 patent under the name of (3) Frédéric's son (4) Raoul (who however does not appear to have been involved in the factory); c1875 development of the 'système 6' oboe model, later known as 'Conservatoire' system. 1878 on the sudden death of (3) Frédéric, the firm was initially directed by Mme C. Dehais before being bought by F. PARIS, a former key-maker with the firm; 1881 after bankruptcy, Lorée left to become established independently, while the firm (and marque) was bought by GAUTROT AÎNÉ, who in 1883 were themselves taken over by COUESNON; as late as 1934 Couesnon was advertising 'perce Triébert' (Triébert bore) oboes stamped with mark [d]. (3) Frédéric and his brother (2) Charles have been considered primarily responsible for the development of the modern oboe. See also BARRET, JANCOURT, (2) F.W. Kruspe.
