A TB search didn't reveal anything and Google didn't reveal too much more. It seems like he was mostly a dealer/importer and that his violins are considered decent at best. Anybody else around here have any more info on the basses bearing his label?

Double Bass Thomas Fawick
- Thread starter weary gill
- Start date
Fawick was an inventor with patents in the automotive industry, and did many small inventions for the Army in WWII. He was also a self taught violinist, and after the war hard a business relationship with the Collin Mezin factories in France, and imported string instruments into Ohio. His basses are the typical sloped shouldered "pear shape" bases of that region. Cincinnati Bass Cellar has one now. Let us know if you check it out.
