Charles Louis Bazin, son of Charles Nicolas Bazin, was born in 1881 in Mirecourt, France where he lived his entire life making beautiful bows.  In 1907 he officially took over his father’s business while continuing to work with Charles Nicolas until his death in 1915.  A career interrupted by two World Wars, he served in the infantry in WWI.  His son Charles Alfred followed in his footsteps, joining the shop in 1922 and collaborating on many bows for the next decades until Charles Louis died in 1953 leaving a legacy of fine bows that continue to produce beautiful music.
