From the early nineteenth century, its members would create about two dozen musical instruments brands with the name Thibouville.
Jean-Baptiste Thibouville, born May 4, 1832, in La Couture-Boussey, was the inheritor of the brand Thibouville-Herouard (his parents' names) founded in 1842.He created two companies in Paris, which only last a short time because of the death of his associates.
In 1867, he married Rose Leonie Cabart, daughter of Jean Michel Cabart, owner and comb manufacturer in Ezy-sur-Eure (Eure, France).
In 1869, he established in Ezy-sur-Eure the Thibouville-Cabart factory.
