Cello bow Bausch

Ludwig Bausch (1805–71) of Leipzig gained considerable international repute for bow making. He also is believed to have made bows for Kittel. His bows (mostly his own work, though some were made by Knopf) are generally branded L. Bausch below the frog, a brand his sons used as well. His sons both died shortly after their father, but the business continued for some decades in the hands of former employees.
