Values and history

Story of a passion, that became know how...

In the 1980s, Pierre-François RESTA studied at the Music Conservatory of Paris and specialised in the marimba at the Rotterdam Music Conservatory. Talented musician and teacher at the Music Conservatory of Dijon, he did not find any mallets that really suited him.

Thanks to his resourcefulness and creativity, also because of his passion for music, he started his own research to produce its own mallets. Unconsciously, he started the story of a small French company that would become indispensable in the international percussions landscape…
