Brazilian bows have been around for a long time. I sell them regularly. The craftsmanship is very good and several individual makers have made a good name for themselves; M.Cirillo, for example. They generally buy their frogs and screws from Europe, and make the rest by hand. I sell nice Brazilian bows in my shop from $500 to $1200 and they will often stand up to bows worth two and three times as much. The wood quality is excellent.
