Bows purchased in Canada, and not shipped outside if Canada, will normally be the same numerical price, but in Canadian dollars. The province of purchase requires that I collect HST for the province to which the bow is shipped or purchased.

--I will be making a very limited quantity Mokume gold mounted violin bows. Mokume is a special laminating process for precious metals yielding extraordinary color and pattern. My examples combine White, Yellow and Rose 18K Gold. Price: $6,000.

--I welcome requests for restoration of old bows, replacement and copies of damaged parts, and most importantly, I replace ivory tips with metal or shell.

--*Finally, please note that I have recently developed a business relationship with Carriage House Violins in Newton Upper Falls, MA, and also with Carolyn Foulkes at Perrin and Asscociates, Baltimore, both in the US, where you may find some fine examples of my bows.
