I have a German bow by an American maker...Keith Beardon. I'vs heard some crazy stories about this guy. Anybody have any information?. It's being offered on consignment in Chicago.

Thanks jb and reedo.
I sent this bow to Sonksen Strings in Chicago for consignment. He sure did beautiful work.
Is he still alive and out of the big house? I wonder if he'd like to purchase one of his bows?....Well, maybe not.

The shop is still there, but I don't think Keith is around.. hmm...

That's his Uncle Gene's shop. I had my fingerboard done there.
