Subject: Help: Valuing a fiddle bow From: GUEST,Ed Date: 29 Nov 13 - 12:11 PM Hi, I do some voluntary work in a charity shop. Recently we had a violin bow donated. Apart from the fact that such things can be anything from very cheap to mind-bogglingly expensive (I very much doubt that it's the latter), I know absolutely nothing about them. Can anyone give me any pointers in terms of determining what we should sell it for? (I'm in the UK) Thanks, Ed |

Subject: RE: Help: Valuing a fiddle bow From: Ed. Date: 29 Nov 13 - 04:08 PM Thank you, ladies. I think that I'll advise putting £5 on it as I really don't know. Buxton, for what it's worth. |

FAR FAR too many things to just say it's worth £5. Get it evaluated by at least a low end pawn broker if not a luthier |

Most fiddle players like to carry a spare bow just in case. FloraG PS still worth getting it valued. |
