Does anybody have any information on a Hungarian maker by the name of Stowasser? I'm looking at a bass to buy with this name stamped below the button. The only thing I can find in my searches is a violin maker Janos Stowasser, who died in 1900. (Other than the Stowasser who invented the Helicon mid 19th c. - could this be him too?)

Just trying to get more information from you people who have all the reference books handy, not to mention decades of experience with these instruments...

Thanks in advance,

Brian
