Charles Alfred Bazin

Mirecourt

Charles Alfred Bazin (1907–1987) was a French bow maker from Mirecourt and the last representative of the Bazin family’s long tradition. Trained by his father, Charles Louis Bazin, he later took over the family workshop. His bows are noted for their solid craftsmanship and musical quality, and he is remembered as a respected figure who helped carry the Bazin legacy into the 20th century.
