Charles Nicolas Bazin

Mirecourt, 1847–1915

Charles Nicolas Bazin (1847-1915) was a prominent and influential French bow maker from Mirecourt, known for his prolific output and significant contributions to the craft. As the son and pupil of François Xavier Bazin, he initially followed his father's models but evolved his style to include octagonal sticks and Vuillaume miniature photograph eye frogs from 1870. He established a highly regarded workshop that employed numerous artisans and was instrumental in the founding of the Mirecourt School of Violin Making. He retired in 1907, passing his legacy to his son, Charles Louis.
