In 1970, Millant was awarded the title Un de Meilleurs Ouvriers de France. His bows, which are strongly influenced by François Peccatte and Dominique Peccatte, quickly enjoyed great esteem among the most highly demanding professionals.Millant made excellent playing bows (following the Peccatte pattern). Millant bows function much as good facsimile Peccattes. The combination of choice of materials, weight, strength, and flexibility make them excellent playing tools, and bows by this maker are becoming increasingly desirable in the market today and are sought after by top professionals. - Stefan Hersh "Jean-Jacques Millant is considered one of the most important bowmakers of the latter part of the 20th century". - Gennady Filimonov
