Bernard studied with his father, the great E.A.Ouchard and in 1949 went to Geneva working for the next 21 years with Vidoudez. Most of the bows stamped VIDOUDEZ Geneva are Bernard Ouchard’s exceptional work. In 1971 he returned to Mirecourt and taught bow making at the violin making school where he trained the next generation of French master bow makers.
