When looking at any bow how does one determine how good the pernambuco is? I'm assuming that when Peccate made a bow he first selected the best piece of pernambuco he could find? How can a bowmaker tell before the bow is finished?

Have always wondered about this, but obviously pernambuco bows come in a rather large price range, what makes one piece of pernambuco better than another? Can I tell by looking? Can a good bow have mediocre pernambuco?

I have a 1907 Guarneri Curatoli which I took to a very reputable repair man who told me it was very high quality German work, probably Saxony. They are supposed to be very nice instruments, although somewhat mislabeled.

Have read with interest discussions of Curotoli violins. I own a Guarnerius copy dated 1907 and #'s 2217. The label also states "made in Italy". Are any of the others so labeled? It appears to be a very nice instrument, although I have yet to have it repaired.
