martin swan Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Would need to see more than that one photo but it’s promising. Other makers worked for Vidoudez besides Bernard Ouchard. Ultimately I would never buy a bow from someone unless they inspire complete confidence … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like I'm the only one who doesn't know which bloody auction this is at. Of course, I have little interest in a gold B Ouchard made for Vidoudez considering his own output being much nicer....

Concertmaster1 Posted March 29 Author Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) It was some auction online, to me it looked a bit suspicious but still well made, no name attached to the cello other than a repair but I would think it is from the late 19th century, right? Anyways, the auction sold both for 12,000 in a lot . Edited March 29 by Concertmaster1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Chanot Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 All I will say is that many years ago one of the top experts said "Don't make it something you want it to be" or words to that effect when you aren't sure what you're looking at.
