Hi Amanda,

The one I am selling is the one he used in the
lessons. He had two. The John (or James?) Dodd was the
96 gram one. He used to practice and teach one mine
(Thomas Dodd) but perform with the other one.

I always thought this one was the nicer sounding bow,
but the other one had a great heavy spicatto. It was a
little too heavy for me. This one, (Thomas) might be a
little too soft for some people. Also, the spicatto is
farther out than on most bows since its tip heavy. It
is also longer than other bows. I have some pictures
of it which I can send you if you are interested. I
have been playing my John Dodd mostly and dont like
leaving Harvey's bow in the case backstage. I would
rather have one that is a bit more stiff and cheaper.
(no wisecracks!)

Email me directly (stefankartman@...) and I will
reply with pictures. Already forgot your email.

Sincerely,
Stefan
