I recently bought an amazing French/overhand bow by 4th generation German bowmaker Michael Dœlling (http://www.doellingbogen.de). It's the first bow I have fallen for instantly. It's a Sartory model with an ivory frog that he made about 10 years ago. Weighs 141g.

He also makes gorgeous snakewood bows, although the one I played wasn't to my taste, feel-wise. And, of course, he also makes German/underhand bows. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much of a gallery on their website...
