This bow is officially off the market. Thanks for your interest.

The bow is currently out on approval with a fellow TBer. It may be sold, but it may still be available. I'll know in a few days.

The "open" hair is 19.25 in (48.75 cm) long. The frog is 2.5 in (6.5 cm) tall. Hope that helps.

I weighed the bow today at 128 grams. I used a postal scale, so it may not be absolutely accurate...that's the best measurement I could get.

I don't really know what type of wood it is. It looks like it could be pernambuco (but still looks a little different...darker, with a more noticeable grain). It definitely doesn't look like snakewood. (I've heard of some of these bows made from European fruit-woods, like plum.) The frog...

Yeah, I suppose I could do that, but it'd have to be pre-paid.

Sorry that it took me longer than I had expected to get these pictures up... The pictures are too hi-res to post here, but you can view them [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Please let me know if you have any questions! :)

I acquired this bow 6 years ago when I was performing in a semi-professional Baroque orchestra. I was told (though I have no documentation to support this) that this was an authentic bow from the late 18th century/early 19th century. It certainly appears consistent with a bow from that time...

This instrument is still available. Please don't be shy ;).
