Maker Overview
Life
Hermann Richard Pfretzschner (1856-1921) was a bow maker, the son and pupil of Carl Richard Pfretzschner. He served as the last pupil of J. B. Vuillaume in Paris from 1870 to 1872. In 1880, he established himself as a bow maker in Markneukirchen. He was appointed to the court of Saxony in 1901 and made bows for the royal court and orchestra of Dresden. Hermann Richard Pfretzschner is regarded as one of the best German bow makers, and the company he founded continues today.
