I have been making this late 18th-/early 19th-century English Cramer model for many years. The original, attributed to Edward Dodd, is in collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (SAM 1006).
For the stick, I use plain snakewood, with which I have achieved excellent results (the original is made of pernambuco, which I cannot use due to allergies).
Besides the typical head of a Cramer model, the frog and the screw lend the bow a unique character, accented by the silver wire and silk thread winding. The bow’s feeling and handling are very well suited for Haydn, Beethoven and other composers of their time.
