Jeffrey Holmes Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 For modern style, "single maker", bows... not that I know of... At least not on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlecollector Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Raffin workshop use pernambucco and amourette,most bowmakers who make hisorical bows don`t necessarily use pernambucco.There are far more 19th century French bows still in existance from amourette ,ironwood,etc... than pernambucco.This is my view from what i see at auctions in Europe.I get the impression that top quality pernambucco was already in short supply towards the last quarter of the 19th century,but a few makers seemed to have a ready supply.

Steve_W Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Quote: Who do you think is the most successful? Or most unified? Since I don't see that anybody else has tried to answer this yet, I'll try, even though I'm unschooled at this stuff. To my eyes the F. Peccatte (#1) is the most unified; the front and back curves of the head seem to be more in harmony than the others, and I like how the squared-off top front of the head seems to match the flat bottom plate. I suppose it's impossible to judge the bows without seeing them in 3 dimensions, though. Do you happen to have a picture that illustrates the Tourte model that these were derived from? I'd be curious. -Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy_Gallo Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Here's a photo that Jeffrey post a long while ago in a thread titled "Bow Tutorial." ) The Watson and Maline strike me as the most balanced in all parts.
