CASE INCLUDED
The
Lowendall factory in Berlin, Germany (Lowendall Star Works?), was
perhaps the first--or one of the first--to produce the Ole Bull violin.
According to Henley's Universal Dictionary of Violin and Bow Makers,
Louis Lowendall (b. 1836) made the acquaintance in 1878 of Ole Bull in
St. Louis. Bull permitted him to take a copy of his famous grand concert
violin (a Strad, I think), which he was playing there at the time. The
copy of this instrument became known as Lowendall’s Ole Bull. Lowendall
thereafter divided his time between America and England. In 1889 he
bought a spacious 4-story building at 121 Reichenbergerstrasse, Berlin,
and employed many skilled workmen.
I believe the Lowendall
factory also produced the Grand Concert Violin Stradivarius around the
turn of the century. You can find these listed in the old Sears Roebuck
catalogs.
