I asked the guy to make a German frog. It's almost as wide as an average German, but not quite. The angle at which the string leaves the frog is different too - straight like a French. I've played it next to some good German bows and there really isn't a lot of difference - it has always been a good bow. Bassist David Walter once played it when he was in NZ and it was a French bow - my brother owned it then. He told my brother he thought it was a very good bow.
