Double Bass Italians

[LouisF]

Does anyone have experience with bows by Emilio Slaviero or Lorenzo Lazzarotto? I have played (and previously owned) a bow by Marco Pasquino but am curious about the other two. Thanks

Hi, i'm not a classical player but i know for sure that Slaviero's bows are considered top notch. This has been confirmed to me more times from players and luthiers. I don't know Lazzarotto.

That's what I hear about Slaviero (and one of his bows has come available here). Lazzaroto was highly recommended by Sergio Scaramelli, but can't find any of his bows here. Maybe when all the lockdown dust clears, we'll see.
Thanks

Just make him an "...offer he can't refuse".
