1VIOLIN ACCESSORIES
3Violin Bows
5THE great importance of the bow to good violin playing has led us to be very careful in the selection of this accessory. The bows here listed will be found to be perfectly balanced, correct in weight, of best modern workmanship, exceptional in finish, and unexcelled in the quality of material used. They constitute the finest line of bows ever offered by any house in this country and are the direct result of our experience as specialists in violins and bows for more than half a century. We carry a large stock of genuine rare old bows. List on request.
7HART & SON, LONDON
9We take pleasure in announcing that we have been appointed by Hart & Son, of London, their accredited agents for their own make of violins and bows.
11As violin bow makers, Messrs. Hart & Son are recognized as absolutely preeminent. Among the great artists of the day the artistic quality of these bows is fully recognized and more of them are in use in the hands of celebrated players than of any other make. The preeminence of the bows of Messrs. Hart & Son, is due to several important conditions which exist with them. One of the principal of these is the fact that they started in to manufacture the best bows that could possibly be made, regardless of cost. To them the finest examples of Francois Tourte's bows were always available as models. Another very important feature is the possession by them of a large and aged stock of the choicest Pernambuco procurable. Pernambuco suitable for violin bows is a very difficult wood to procure; thorough seasoning is an absolute requisite and the wood of which these bows are made is seasoned ten years, by natural processes, before use.
13The following bows are all made in the shops of Hart & Son, London, and differ in price according to the quality of materials, workmanship and the style of frogs used. The cheapest bows of the line though plain in design possess exceptional playing qualities.
15It is a well known fact that two articles radically different in quality cannot be made in the same shop side by side. Every detail receives minutest attention. The screws, often considered matters of small importance, are especially made from case hardened steel and are very durable.
