Introduction
Recommended Bowmakers and Suppliers Links

Rather than list a limited number of sites, I recommend the comprehensive listing of most major Luthiers, Bowmakers and suppliers, explore David van Zandt's excellent site. The specific listing of bows can be found at:

Two dealers in musical instruments continue to be valuable assets. They can be counted on for knowledgeable dealings in early string instruments and appraisals. Mr. Monical often has bows of mine available for sale, including viol bows..
William Monical Staten Island, NY 718-816-7878
Jaak Lorius Ottawa, Ontario 613-562-3666

For the best current scholarship on the history of the bow, see Robert Seletsky's articles on "The Bow" in the Revised New Grove and in Early Music Magazine, May and August, 2004. Dr. Seletsky can be reached by email at: memres@sprintmail.com
