Only patronage could revive a momentum interrupted in the 19th century: commissioning a family of instruments made from the wood of the same tree, vibrating with the same harmony, to offer to a young quartet, "the Anton Quartet". The choice of Hennessy was justified by the similarity between the art of creating a cognac and music: The "Hennessy Instrumental Quartet" - a cello, two violins, and a viola - is the work of Jean-Jacques Pagès, Master Luthier in Mirecourt. It was officially presented to the Russian Anton Quartet on October 16, 1991, at the Carnavalet Museum.
