The Quality of Whos work? That's my point. We don't actually know who is making them. Companies will go to great lengths to protect their sources. I do not doubt that a large US Distributor does not or cannot import Bows directly from China contracted by Germany.

Asain companies drop ship as well to cut down on double shipping costs.

Find out from Pfretzschner how much their Bows cost and in Italy, call Lucchi who I know hand makes their Bows. The run $2500-$4500 from what I have seen and that's from Lucchi directly to the Bass shop, not thru a distributor.

If a Paesold 'handmade in Germany' can be 'double' wholesaled and still LIST for only $1068., then I have a Bridge in Brooklyn for sale..

I think if the Quality was anything other than average for a Student grade Bow, we would hear more about them.
