Luboš Oubrecht

About

Luboš Oubrecht was born in Cheb in 1975. He graduated from the violin making school in Luby u Chebu and did the practical part of his training with his father, master bow maker Milan Oubrecht, with whom he now works in the family workshop in Luby. In 2001, on the strength of his work and a successful examination, he was admitted to the Circle of Czech Master Violinmakers.

He makes master and concert bows for all string instruments, including baroque bows, which he makes from snakewood, and repairs and restores old bows. Like his father, he respects each musician’s individual wishes; his bows are valued for their elegance, handling, sound and workmanship. The Oubrecht workshop makes bows exclusively from very fine old pernambuco with gold or silver mountings, and student bows with nickel silver. Luboš Oubrecht’s bows are played by musicians in many countries.
