Mr. Milan Oubrecht lives and works in beautiful southwest
Bohemia (near the German border) where he teaches bowmaking
and makes bows on commission for some of Europe's most
prestigious artists, including Prague's Panocha Quartet
and members of the world-famous Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.
His outstanding pernambuco bows are characterized
by their distinctive tip design, great flexibility,
fine balance (including an effortless and uniquely
Czech spiccato) and wonderful tone.
Mr. Milan Oubrecht favors round sticks, imitation whalebone
windings, and bone or mastodon tip plates. His frogs
are particularly elegant, featuring beautiful mother-of-pearl
with his distinctive insignia carved into the ebony.
His son, Lubos, is also a distinguished bow maker,
and is already achieving a reputation equal to that
of his famous father.
