About us...
Jean-Luc MASSON (a classical trumpeter trained by Michel CUVIT and a graduate of Geneva's Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique) started out playing in a number of orchestras over a number of years. He decided to change direction after realising that there was a flagrant and recurring need among artists and musicians for access to quality equipment adapted to what is often a very meagre budget, especially when starting out on an instrument and then a career in a perilous and unpredictable field ...
"Why should quality be reserved for the well-off? "he insists.
It was on hisreturn from a trip to China, where, he says, he pushed open the doors of several factories, that he courageously set about shedding new light (to say the least) on the manufacture of professional products.
"Let's not pay for fame, let's pay for quality! "
In 1996, starting from scratch, he created his own brand "PRODIPE", which today is the French reference (Audio and Instruments), used on the biggest stages and in the biggest French and international studios, capable of offering quality products identical to the best professional references but at prices never seen before..
a "Philosophy" endowed with a know-how that enables it to make the "Top of the Range" accessible to as many people as possible"..
Initially specialising in the manufacture of AUDIO equipment for vocal and instrumental sound reinforcement, all research and development is carried out entirely in France in active collaboration with Ludovic Lanen (Francis Cabrel's sound engineer), who tests all prototypes in real-life situations. Once validated, they become professional references that meet every requirement!
These products are the result of a combination of the know-how of French engineers and that of the best Asian factories...
"The same manufacturers as for many of the leading brands," he adds!
It wasn't until 2017 that he decided to develop his own GUITAR models, setting up a team of French luthiers working with leading Asian production plants .
Once again, the instruments are designed and built the old-fashioned way, comparable to the best on the market despite costing 3 or 4 times less, and are already used by some of the biggest names..
PRODIPE, a matter of choice...
that's why we've been working with conviction and passion for over 20 years...
"Let the budgets saved be used to promote artists"
Wowed by the price and convinced by the quality of the products, whether in terms of audio or instruments, many famous musicians, singers, bassists and guitarists not only use our instruments on stage and in the studio, but have also become ambassadors and masters of the collection: among them Pierre LELIEVRE, for classical guitars, Fred KOPO who signs several of our acoustic collections, Yarol POUPAUD who inaugurates the signature model entirely Bio-Sourced from our Rennes workshops, soon Liza KEROB master collector of our future violins, Claude SALMIÈRI and his drum kit, Roland ROMANELLI and his accordion case..... Not forgetting Fifi CHAYEB, Loic PONTIEUX, Eric MULA, and so many others that we'll let you discover as you browse through our site.
Enjoy your visit!
