Guide for bending bows for violin, viola, cello and bass - comprises mould pivotably located at one end and having several parallel accommodating strips

摘要

The accommodating strips (3) in the bending mould (1) are spaced apart by a distance which is less than the dia. of the bow bar (11) to the bent. Their width narrows in the direction of the bar end to the same extent as the bar dia. increases. The curvature of the strips in a longitudinal direction is at least 25 per cent greater than that of the bent bow. Flexible holders (6) are provided to act as counter bearings for the inserted bow bar. Heating and cooling channels (2) are incorporated, and extend on the side of the mould turned away from the holders parallel to the accommodating strips, and at the height of the inserted bow bar. USE - To bend bows for violons, violas, cellos and basses.
