Violinist1828 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hello! I was looking through the latest Tarisio auction, and came upon this violin bow, which has two certificates, one says Morizot Pére and the other Morizot Fréres. What do you guys think? Which one is it? Tarisio has it as Morizot Pére. https://tarisio.com/auctions/auction/lot/?csid=2199060480&cpid=3606183936&filter_key= Curious about your opinions! Bernard Millant cert says it is Fréres... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chrissweden Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 There are some way to check this but some freres are darn close to pere and without having it in hand to check for some small "secret" traits that only apply to the pere. The head looks more freres, the curve/chamfers of the head go inside the stick quicker whereas pere is later. So I would say this is freres. However, the frog and button are very nice and could easily be père. The cozio archive is of no help, seems like there are morizot freres listed as père... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
l33tplaya Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Some Chicago authorities put little stock into certificates from Guadagnini shop. I have been there, and...use caution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bishopstrings Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 It's Frere if you are buying and pere if you are selling ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Violinist1828 Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Dear all! Thank you for all your replies! I was able to convince Tarisio to change their attribution they did specify that it could be either haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
