The Maker:

Andrew Dipper is a skilled restorer, luthier, historian, and writer with a background in sculpture and Cremonese violinmaking. He has made replicas of historic bows for 35 years. Mr. Dipper’s work is informed by dedicated scholarship, study of original bows and museum conservation.  Examples of his restoration, conservation, and reproduction work can be found in many of the foremost public and private musical instrument collections, as well as in the hands of acclaimed players worldwide.

Model:

The Corrette model is the standard bow of the late baroque period. Its simplicity is made more complex here by the facets of the stick being canellated. This design change allows for a lighter stick with superior flexibility that is perfect for both violin and Pardessus de viole.
