German silver-mounted violin bow stamped “Dodd”

In contrast to many German bows stamped “Dodd”, the name of one of England’s most prominent bow makers, this intriguing, silver-mounted violin bow not only has superior playability but shows some awareness of Dodd’s making style, with its rounded head and slender stick. Despite its elegance, the bow weighs a healthy 63.4 grams and draws a full sound. A full-length pearl slide and pearl back plate visually complement the ebony frog.
