Otto Dürrschmidt

Otto Dürrschmidt is acknowledged as having been the founder of the Dürrschmidt bow making familiy. Even today, members of this family still work in their firm in Markneukirchen. The family records begin with the founding of his Markneukirchen workshop in 1894.

Uwe Dürrschmidt's bows, as those of his father before him, reflect the traditions of the family with respect to the models chosen and the general working techniques used. The bows made in this workshop are stamped OTTO DÜRRSCHMIDT to this day.
