Ludwig Bausch

Ludwig Christian August Bausch (15 January 1805 in Dresden – 26 May 1871 in Leipzig) was a German Bogenmacher / bow maker.

He studied violin making in Dresden with J.B. Fritsche and eventually set up his own firm in Leipzig.

He combined the best elements of French and German styles, and achieved great fame.
