Auction excitement!

Exciting, I love auctions but sadly have little of value to dispose of.

A bean .... not a vegan!

If I had sold both they would not have gone to the same home. Very different market. Lots of bows here ... but not worth a vegan!

It seems a shame to separate them, unless I have got the wrong end of the stick and the violin has another bow that goes with it.
It's quite amazing what treasures we may have around the house.

Good luck !

£950 just for the bow?! That's a rare bow! Hope the bids keep coming in. Please keep us all posted when it's over.

Exciting indeed Luckygirl 🤞

This is exciting. Looking forward to the result.

How exciting! It’s always so difficult deciding what to do with these things, especially with the emotional ties

Excellent!

Sorry. Cross posts

I think it’s just the bow, Sago, as apparently it’s rare.

Your story reminded me of The Violin Maker’s Secret, which I’m reading at the moment Luckygirl.

The violin is worth about £3k.

No - it's the bow!! - just the bow.

I am not selling the violin - it is a nice mid-19th century German one but not particularly rare in any way so I will hang onto it for now as who knows a great GC might take up the violin when I am gone.

I don’t understand, I thought it was in the auction.

I do hope your bow goes to someone who will cherish it Luckygirl3

£13k - wow!

The bow has a crack under the frog so needs some repair so its value is less than it would have been, but I am not grumbling.

My OH took it to school on the bus and generally treated it as a boy might, so I am just glad that it still has some value.

I have never been involved in an auction before - I am on tenterhooks here. I wonder what else I can sell!

Good luck Luckygirl3. I can't wait to hear how the auction goes.
Years ago three of my late husband's books sold for £13, 000!!

Oh yes. Please do. Are you selling the violin too?

That is very exciting, keep us posted 😊
