Ryszard Osowski, born in 1966, is a Polish luthier who migrated to Muggendorf, Germany, in 1993. Living with his uncle, he learned the local tradition of building stringed instruments. His fascination and talent in violin-making led him to work in a renowned violin-making atelier. He also has connections with many local violin makers from the Bubenreuth and started focusing on perfecting his instruments.

As a result, he concentrated more on building his own stringed instrument, passionately pursuing crafting highly advanced violins. He also occasionally built single pieces of cellos and violas.
