Bowmaker J-J Augagneur explains everything about making a bow!

Jean-Jacques Augagneur lives in Lyon ( France) and spends all his life making bows for strings with passion of serious work and music sound.
He is particulary well known in the double bassist's familly all over the world ( french and german bows). His bows are well known for their round sound and easy playing. What? this bow is playing by itself..!....
This very nice movie report was shot by his son recently, with agrement from ONL National Lyon Orchestra. It got a prize in a short film's festival.

Fascinating to see another bowmaker, who works in a completely different way than I do, but who is obviously also very good. Merci.

This is encouraging me to learn to play a bowed string instrument. Until you've done it, you'll never fully appreciate this level of craftsmanship.
