Used for the majority of my undergrad and got me through many recitals, juries, and auditions well. Only reason I'm selling is I recently upgraded to a $5k bow. This would be an excellent stick for both solos and excerpts. The bow is very active and strokes incredibly well. Would be an excellent...

Have not owned this bow too terribly long, so if you saw listed it a year or two ago that was indeed this bow! According to Lisa Gass this bow weighs 146 or so but is very well balanced and easy on the hand. Frog is large and bow is mounted in gold. Beautiful bow that draws a complex sound with...

Beautiful stick probably from the Morizot workshop. I believe it weighs in at 135g but I can triple check if need be. Good camber and the bow is straight. Some ebony fill in the frog that is aging but it is in decent shape for a well-played 100 year old bow. Bow has won positions and been in...

Price in Canadian dollars! Made by Marco Raposo, pernambuco stick, weighs in at 136 grams. A great bow for an intermediate or advanced student, or as a backup. It brought me through the end of high school and my auditions into undergrad. It's seen a bit of love, as shown in the photos, so I've...

My old French double bass took a tumble a couple of years ago and during the restoration I had occasion to get a new scroll, tuners, and extension. For sale here are the old ones. My bass is an unnamed French Mirecourt instrument likely from around 1870 that reminds many people of a Bernardel...

For sale is my Tom Owen Pernambuco French Bass Bow. Deep red pernambuco wood stick with white horse hair. Ebony frog with nickel mounting. I have owned three Tom Owen bows, and this one is by far the best of the lot. It compares well with bows costing far more. Members of a major symphony have...

Here is a fine slope shouldered bass that looks like one I saw in the museum in Mirecourt last year. It looks French to me. I had a friend say he thought it looked like Alfred Mayer. It has an old neck repair in the middle of the neck. A few well repaired top cracks. Lovely amber varnish. It is...

Recently rehaired and in great condition! Message me if interested!

Selling a very, very nice Guasti & Bottoni French bow. A highly articulate example, with a decent weight and good balance. Really like this bow but I don't need it. Willing to do a short trial. Located in DFW area. Will post detailed pictures and get a weight this evening.

Up for sell is a Codabow Revelation. I used this bow throughout high school, and have recently upgraded. This is a great gigging bow, as it's near impossible to break. I have it haired with black horse hair. It grips the strings very well, and is great for most orchestral bowings. It has been...

Early 1900s unlabelled French guild - Mirecourt school double bass - Quenoil Style. The top is spruce and I believe both body and neck are ash. It looks like a very well made instrument and also quite stylish with its elegant curves and lovely burnt umber hue. Fingerboard, tailpiece and body...
