So far I just use a baroque bow. I work on a cherry bow from time to time, but it's quite difficult.
And here is a Quick vocaroo where I play a few notes on each string.
Love the sound of it! Are you making these on commission or just as a hobby?
I can imagine making bows is an incredibly delicate matter - I don't have time to fall into the rabbit hole of the history of bowed instruments right now, but I can feel myself slipping!
That's a pretty sound. Very nice work!
