Roy Quade bass bows

Has anyone tried one of Roy Quade's bass bows? He along with Pierre-Yves Fuchs have won the past few VSA competitions and I am thinking of trying one out. Any input would be helpful!

fendt,

Did you wind up trying one?

I played it over the Christmas Holidays... nice bow. Very big sound.

I'll let Fendt chime in, if he stops by, but I would say nice bow for the money. Great craftsmanship.

Thanks for the info. I've heard a lot of good things about his bows. I know someone who has one of his cello bows and they are very happy with it. Just wanted to get a bass bow perspective.

BTW, I sent you a PM.
