Joseph Gaudé (1818–1881) was a French archetier, bowmaker and luthier.
His early style of bow making was very much influenced by the Adam school.
According to Mr. Bernard Millant and Mr. Raffin, Joseph Gaude may have worked for the Etienne Pajeot firm around 1835.
Joseph Gaude was a great master and one of the important bow makers of the period.
"Not surprisingly, his [Pajeot's] style of work strongly influenced his contemporaries, and his ideas can be glimpsed in the later works of Nicolas Harmand, Jean Adam (bow maker) (Dominique GrandAdam) and his son Jean, Charles Guinot, Joseph Gaudé, Georges Ury, and Nicolas Mauchard, this last almost certainly a pupil or employee for many years."
