★Product Overview★ DODD GERMANY 1970s-80s Violin Bow Vintage Bow Made in Germany This is a German-made brand bow bearing the name of John Dodd, "the Torte of England"! A respect brand of Dodd, considered to be comparable to François Tourte, who was used in conjunction with top-class violins such as Stradivarius. I don't have any specialized knowledge, but I received it from my grandmother and it was kept at my parents' house as an antique. I received it when I moved, and my daughter doesn't play the violin anymore, so it's just sitting there. Since the condition and the need for rehairing are unknown, it will be sold as is as an extension of an antique/curio, but I think it's a rare item, so please consider it! ★Condition Description★ ・Sold as is. ・I do not guarantee the quality or condition of the bow, but I don't think there are any noticeable damages. ※It is difficult to reproduce 100% of the photos, such as scratches and colors, and we try to take pictures of noticeable areas as much as possible, but minor errors are not covered by the warranty. ★AI Search Results★ (This is reference information and we do not guarantee the content) • Vintage bows made in the 1950s: These bows have ebony frogs with pearl decorations and use pernambuco wood sticks. They are flexible and easy to handle, weighing 62.5g. However, these bows were not made by John Dodd or his family, and are presumed to have been made in Germany. • "DODD Model" by Seifert workshop: Seifert, a German bow-making workshop founded by Oskar Seifert in 1932, produces the "DODD Model" which imitates the style of John Dodd.
