Thanks.

Hi ispirati

I copied this list, origin unknown so I don´t know if

it´s reliable!

The measurements are listed the following way

full length

length of hair

length of stick

length of frog

frog hight

frog width

the bass bow measures are split into german and french model

Gambe means Viol

hope this helps
