BAUSCH, Ludwig Christian August Born 1805 Naumburg, died 1871 Leipzig Germany. Bow maker. Pupil of Fritzsche in Dresden 1818-1822. Worked for Engleder in Munich 1822. Established independently in Dresden 1826-1828, Dessau 1828-1839, Leipzig 1839-1860, Wiesbaden 1861, and Leipzig 1863. A few rather ordinary violins under the influence of J. B. Fritsch. Also made guitars in early career, with assistance from J. Schmirler. From 1836, encouraged by Spohr, dedicated to bow making. Very successful and much admired work in the style of Tourte, becoming known himself as the ‘German Tourte’. Thought to have supplied bows to Kittel. Dark brown, usually round, sticks, sometimes a little long. Very fine quality and much appreciated. Silver medal at Dresden Exhibition 1840.
