I believe there are two Grunbergers, Pierre and Jean, who was a student of
Ouchard. Which do you recommend? Can you rate, describe or compare any of
the moderns. Where is Jammoneau? Any others?

I believe Cardiff Violins recently had a very nice (and very hard to get)
pernambuco bow by Benoit Rollande (who also makes the Spiccato composite
bows).

Pierre and Jean are brothers. Jean is the senior and during the time I knew
them well, was the more accomplished. Jammoneau is a player as well as bow
maker and had also studied with Ouchard (almost the entire batch of mid-age
french bowmakers issued from the same school/class). I have a bow of Jean
Grunberger which was copy of an original ADAM (Grand Adam, c. 1800) bow. I
decided to sell the original when I could not feel a difference between the
two in blind testing. That's a master for you! Eric Grandchamp made a
beautiful copy of a very early F. Tourte. Although it is quite different
stick (playing wise), the bow is also very convincing and beyond reproach in
workmanship. Michel Jammoneau can be located through this site:

He made a copy of one of Tartini's bows for me which is fabulous. I also
brought him with me to Genova to measure and document Paganini's two bows
kept there (out of the public eye). Our intent is to make replicas of this
very unique bow.

Does anyone have info on the French bowmaker Paul La Pierre?
I had one of these during my college years...bought for about $100
in 1960 $$ upon the recommendation of my then teacher. It was a fine
bow, but after I got my new violin and relocated after graduation,
another teacher persuaded me that the La Pierre was not well matched
to my violin. So I traded it in on another [which ultimately broke.]
About a year ago, someone in my orchestra was trying out a La Pierre
which now had an asking price of $3000. It looked suspiciously like my
old bow, given the dim memory of 30+ years.
