Ludwig Bausch was one of the greatest 19^th century German bow makers, known as the “German Tourte”.  His work was so greatly admired and sought after, that many German bow makers stamped their bows “Bausch”modelling their work after the characteristics of a true Ludwig Bausch bow.  This bow is not an original Ludwig Bausch, Leipzig, rather it is inspired by the work of Ludwig Bausch made in Germany in the early 20^th century.  It is carved from Pernambuco and weighs 60.5 grams.
