Hi Everyone,

I have been saying goodbye to Harvey bit by bit over the past couple
of months. Jeannie and I talk about him often. My students are hearing
about him too (as usual).

Anyway, I finally decided to sell the bow I bought from him while I
was his pupil. Those of you who were with him in the 80's (perhaps
before?) might remember it since he taught and played on the Thomas
Dodd while performing with the John Dodd.

I have a John Dodd as well that he helped me to find which I have
played on ever since. Every time I play a concert, his bow sits in my
case backstage and I am always nervous about it. I would rather have a
lesser bow that is more like my performance bow in feel, in the case.

I plan on putting it with Bein and Fushi soon, but thought I should
give old Harvey students the chance at it first. I have pictures which
I can forward to you if you are interested (I didn't want to clutter
up the website with business).

It has a soft feel, beautiful tone, ringing spicatto if a bit
difficult to manage, and is longer and heavier than a standard cello bow.

B&F just sold a Thomas Dodd to one of my students for $18,500. I plan
to sell for the same. Bought it from Harvey for 15K, but that was many
years ago.

I hope everyone is well.

Sincerely,
Stefan Kartman
