stubbsywubsy Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Hello Everyone firstly i am new to this forum so i apologise if this is in the wrong place i recently came across these two antique Violin Bows, one is a Tourte branded one which i showed to some freinds and they thought it was of a very good quality. it measures 67.5cms long and it weighs 50grams including hair and grip which i understand is very light for a bow, it is also octagonal all the way down the shaft if anyone could help me ID this that would be great the other one is a round shaft non branded bow which measures approx 72cms long and weighs 56 grams Tourte 1 Tourte 2 unmarked 1 unmarked 2 thanks in advance steven Edited September 23, 2013 by stubbsywubsy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bacchetta17 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 both are german, the second is more interestant so is transitional. The first have a german frog with parisian eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Conor Russell Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I think that these are ordinary trade bows. These open frogs were put on cheap bows right into the twentieth century. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
