I don't know the prices, but was he:

the Japanese dealer who had a half dozen rare basses stolen (by some kid in a compact car, I think) last year? The basses were later returned.

Here's the thread for that:

I don't think it was the same guy.
Sorry, I don't. But not cheap I think. Lazzarato was the maker who restored Dragonetti's bow a few years ago. Ariente is the bow consultant to the major European historical collections. So, they are not beginners!

Jean Grunberger. I'm not sure how much he's working these days, but his bows are fantastic. They seem to be selling in the 5k range.
I think you've got the wrong thread Louis....
Was I hallucinating? I thought I got a UK mortgages link when I opened the thread last. Mods? Did something get erased?

Hi, this is Andrew McGill. Just wanted to respond to the claim that I might be the maker of Marchand bows. This is most definitely not true. I have done a great deal of work on said bows, but I have nothing at all to do with their manufacture.
My handmade silver mounted bass bows start at £2500.
I`ll happily send a pic`or two of current work to anyone who is interested, just send an email to [email protected] and I`ll reply. Many thanks, Andrew

I am definitely not the maker of Reid Hudson bows but I play one and have never looked back....I also like Sue Lipkins bows very much...
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the clarification. As I wrote in my post, it was pure speculation on my part - I hope no offense taken.
Secondly, to the OP - another name to add to the list would be Thomas Dignan in Boston.

Evan Orman has been making some really incredible bows. Great sound and very responsive. I think they may be in the $3000-4000 range price range.

Very nice, thanks for the info. I'd like to add his name to the first post, but I seem to be unable to edit. Let me consult the mods...
Les,
Do any of the dealers in LA handle your bows? What do the German bows tend to weigh. Thanks

Hi Louis,
I sell my bows directly and also through the Cincinnati Bass Cellar. The last 4 bows were around 136 grams. I still have my latest German.
