This bow arrived in the U.K. on the 8th. December and was sold to a busy London player on the 5th. January. The reason is straightforward, he is just such a glorious maker. His bows are in high demand, for me the main reason he is so successful is because there is a slightly addictive feel of his bows on the string, this is very comforting for the player. Also he was a fine restorer so his output of his own bows was limited.
