I confirm. Give the pattern below to your crew chief, and tell her to go get the spray paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my eyes it's pretty straight and I don't see anything out of the ordinary in terms of fitting for a cheap modern bow. Isn't it just a used one of these? https://www.sharmusic.com/Meinel-Pernambuco-Violin-Bow?quantity=1&Select Size=1&Select%20Size=1 Over 20 years ago, the Meinel bows from Shar were stamped with the name "R. A. MEINEL", were imported from Brazil and sold through their mail-order division. Commercial parts (frog & button), but the pernambuco stick was often half-way decent. Those on the link look like an even cheaper product and could very well be stamped differently. Surprised if the wood is actually pernambuco at $85... but honestly they could be produced in China or on Mars and I wouldn't know, or want to know. 21 hours ago, real expert said: Mr Swan, I give my opinion, which is correct, you may or may not agree, this is of course your choice.

I know the watchword of our new age is "we've all had enough of experts", and perhaps a "real expert" is something other than a regular or traditional expert? You stated that the wood was warped, that the bow was a composite of different parts, that the screw wasn't fitted correctly and that it had a "fake stamp". So, I would be grateful if you would reason this out and produce evidence rather than just assert that you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real expert Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 I dont need to provide evidence, as I have nothing to prove. The poster wanted to know about the bow, he didnt ask for proof. If you want evidence? buy the bow, take it apart and see if I am correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Butcher Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Over a lifetime, I’ve noticed that people who really are an expert in something, will often go to great lengths to explain their views, and in considerable detail. What they don’t do, is act like an 8 year old having a tantrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
