Dear Forum,
first of all I ask to Moderatores to give a look at this my post, because I would not talk about a sort of "spam-post". Do you know what I mean? I talk you about the objiect in the Thread, because just yesterday I've known about these "news". Sorry for English!
The italian maestro Giovanni LUCCHI in Cremona (North Italy)
has built with the brand Lucchi & Sons (or probably someone else but under his strict final controls) a NEW BOW IN CABON FIBER at the price of Euro 800,oo. Asap he will add the photos related to it on his website (if I remember ...
http://www.lucchicremona.com ... check it, perhaps there's a mistake!). Now it's possible to admire only the ones for violins, viola and cello. But it's already avaible! It's interesting the fact that they seem like a "pernambucco" bows (avaible for French or Deutsche). It seems that they have a very good "taken" on the string, good balancement and a high quality in the frog. Maestro Lucchi thinks they are, at that price, the best choise for students at high level (advanced) but also for soloists. The sound travels through the air in a very speed way.
When the photos will be ready on the site, if you like, I will know all you. Really, I'm intention to buy it but also for my students. I would compare it with the "arcus sinfonia" (euro 1.600). I'm not very happy about the quality/price of Arcus Bow. But it's only my modest opinion! If Lucchi's carbon fiber bows work well, all my students, at that price, will use it, if they like, for their final examination (in Italy it's called "Diploma" and you reach it after seven years of study in a Conservatory of Music).
My best regards and let me know eventually what you think about it.
Vito
