I studied Cello, and had a beginner bow. I tried my teacher's bow, which cost 10k USD, and it was a totally different sound and feel. As a beginner, I could not understand how a stick and hair could be different, or more expensive. It was like I was flying a single propeller air plane and my teacher was piloting the Space Shuttle. Amazing differences.

I didn’t realize until I played upright bass was that there are two types of bow. One is basically the violin/cello bow but bigger. The other had a saddle shape on the inside of the handle, so you held it sideways instead of over the top, and honestly when the bow gets that HEAVY, it’s hard on the wrist to hold it like you would for a cello so I totally preferred the saddle one.

Interestingly enough, the tail feather in the devil’s bow when he went down to Georgia came from a Phoenix who only made one other tail feather. Nobody knows where the twin bow is. It is said that only the worthy would be capable of touching such a bow without disintegrating. When the chosen one destined to play the twin bow plays against Johnny supposedly the world will be their orchestra. The lightning, thunder, and waves will hold their breath awaiting the result. But that’s just a myth, obviously. No chance of that happening, right?

I've been a bow maker for 15 years. What's important is the stick, it's thickness and camber. Poor sticks are difficult to turn into good sticks. I make bows out of Pernambuco and ipea. The Pernambuco is alwaysa better bow . A good stick which is still in it's raw form can run from $100 to $300. A Lukie reading is used to tell the quality. If it has a high rating, 5500, then we check specific density and vibration. The rest of the material is not costly, just a bit of silver, ebony, mother of pearl. A hank of top quality hair runs less then $20.00. So why would a bow sell for $6,000? Beats me, but I'll take the money.
@notheretoargue2885
@notheretoargue2885 3 жыл бұрын
The extra money it "costs" aside from the raw materials is all the time and effort put into making the bow AND the time the artisan spent learning all these processes, kinda like how a doctor gets paid a lot for a 30 min consultation; you are not paying for only the 30 mins, but the years of study that doctor had to go through

Sometimes a $3000 modern bow can blow the $600k bow out of the water. That was certainly the case when I played three bows in front of an audience. One was a James Tubbs ($12k), the other a Marco Raposo ($1.5k), and the final one was a Francois Xavier Tourte ($710k). Everyone, literally *everyone* loved the Raposo and didn't think the Tourte was anything special. They mistook it for the Tubbs in fact.....

​@@iamcll So many people who are extremely high-up in the classical music industry/are very rich anyway are buying bows based on the name. I've heard the phrase "I won't play on any bow that's not French" which is a pretty disgusting thing to say. I've also heard "Pfft..! Unless the bow is at least $10k I'm not going to buy it". I dislike these people so much. The most expensive bow I've actually bought (and not borrowed) is a Bazin which was priced at $3000 AUD which is not too bad considering it was literally the greatest bow I'd ever played on ... until I had a friend overseas make a bow for me which matched its playing characteristics and sound. The sound was actually a little brighter and I preferred this. I could be heard even more over a piano when playing a viola & piano sonata. So can you guess the country of origin that made my new bow that is better than the French Bazin? ;) And guess the price too please ;) Also, it's funny that Bazin is a French name but it's not fancy enough for some snobby players....

What this video doesn’t mention is that the wood used for bows, pernambuco wood, comes from a specific tree called the brazilwood tree (the national tree of Brazil.) The problem is that the brazilwood tree is now endangered and is nearly extinct in most of its original region. The trade of pernambuco wood is likely to be banned in the immediate future, which will create a major problem in the bow-making industry which highly values this wood. The International Pernambuco Conservation Initiative (IPCI), whose members are the bowmakers who rely on pernambuco for their livelihoods, is working to replant the trees. IPCI also advocates for the usage of other woods for violin bows to raise money to plant pernambuco seeds.

This is the same with all instruments. Luckily Violins/Cellos/Guitars sound better with age. A luthier is such a valued proffesion. As a life long musician (Guitar/Bass/Mandolin/Piano) i can appreciate an incredible instrument. It's why I pay hundreds for strings alone. I spent 2k on restoring an 1971 Martin steel string to restore perfect intonation and full body sound. I paid over a thousand for custom wrapped pickups for my 67 telecaster. As a musician you continuously seek the best sound.

I think good technique and practice will get you farther than good instruments. You have to evolve as a player and get an instrument that matches where you are in your musical journey.

"Professional bows/players have their bows redone every 3 months." 2 Cellos looked at each other and said "Thunderstruck?" New bows please after they finished tearing it up. Have you seen those guys tear up a bow in minutes? :D Bloody good job they are earning top cash for their musical skills, as I bet that shit gets really expensive. =D

Bowmaker for more than fifty years here. Video is interesting and well done, but I must disagree with what you say about the price of very expensive bows. A bow that sells for $690,000 is only "worth" that much for the same reason a Stradivari violin is "worth" $10,000,000: it's an investment. Bows do not improve with age after they are played in. There are many modern bowmakers who can make bows as good as Tourte or anyone else. But they can't get the prices historical bows get, because they are not yet investments.
