Happy Jack Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Following the very helpful chat about bows and bowing, which touched on the astonishing values placed on some bows, I read today that Jacqueline du Pre's bow will be auctioned next week. It carries an estimate of £20,000 - £30,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 And she was only a cellist! Think what it would be worth if she played double bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It's easy to be cynical about these things, but the bow needs to be viewed as an instrument in it's own right, and a fine bow makes a HUGE difference. Having said that, Ms Du Pre's name may well have trebled the value of that particular stick! It's a Tubbs, and fully blinged, so the chances are it'll never play the Elgar concerto again. "Owned" and "used" are two very different things, too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 If I could play like Geoff can with the one I got for free then I'd have a bid, I suspect I'd sound much the same with it, awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
