To make a long story short...I sent a couple really good German bows away to be sold on consignment. Leaving me with nothing. After hearing all those stories about Edgar Myer using those ugly cheapo French bows, I figured i'd look for the least expensive wood German bow I could find. It turned out to be an octagon Brazil wood bow offered by Bob for $148 including shipping. I basically just wanted this bow as something temporary while shopping for a decent middle of the road bow.
Upon receiving the bow, I thought he made a mistake! Octagonal, nice tip. straight as an arrow, leather/silver wire grip, ebony frog with inlaid abalone dot, abalone frog slide and a nice, balanced feel producing a really good sound!
It's a good feeling to get something without scrutinizing it and have it exceed your expectations....Thanks Bob!

Bob sure has earned the title "All Hail" Gollihur

Thanks. | Karim, just imagine a nice dark Brazil wood, ....It's seems to me the Brazil is a little darker red than Pernambuco...., octagonal stick, with a really nice curve and a silver wire and leather grip. I have the German frog with an abalone in-laid dot. I don't see how they could put more hair on!

Plenty of hair, and it stays!

Or maybe I just shoulda said politician . |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Pacifica, CA, USA | | | I have to chime in as I've just bought one of (all hail) Bob's brazilwood German bows. The bow sounds ten times better than the one I've been renting. I knew it would sound better but I'm shocked as to how much better it sounds. Also, I ordered the bow late on a Thursday night, Bob shipped it out the following Friday and the FedEx guy was at my door with the bow the following Saturday morning. I wasn't expecting it until sometime the following week so, naturally, that made my weekend.

I had my first lesson with my new teacher (symphony player), although i'm a complete arco newbie, i'm sure this bow is a lot better than any other one that i could have bought for the same price.
all in all, bob's (all hail!) is the best!
