FAQs

John Dodd (17521839) was an English bow maker recognised as one of the most significant figures in British bow making during the late Georgian era. His work was pivotal in developing the modern bow length, curvature, and weight distribution.

Violin bows from this period were typically crafted from Pernambuco or snakewood for the stick, paired with ebony, ivory, or bone frogs. Metal fittings often consisted of silver, nickel, or brass alongside natural unbleached horsehair.

Authentic bows from this era often bear maker stamps near the frog, specific head profiles unique to the workshop, and distinct adjuster details. Craftsmanship characteristics, timber grain density, and period construction methods assist in authentication.

An antique bow can be mounted inside a UV-protective glass shadow box on a wall or placed on a stand atop a piano, desk, or bookcase alongside complementary musical antiques.

Store the bow in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations to prevent wood warping. Always unwind tension from the hair when not in use, and wipe the stick with a soft dry cloth after handling.
