Baroque Photo Samples - Violin / Viola

See also

The following photos are a small sampling of the models available. I make over 60 different models, many which have never been photographed. If you are interested in a bow that is not represented in the photos please make a note on the Order Inquiry form. All of the ivory used on these bows is fossil ivory, mostly mammoth or Mastodon, with a few buttons out of fossil walrus. I do not use any elephant ivory!
