Violin Bow Tips & Frogs - Mammoth Ivory
David Warther & Co. has been providing ancient mammoth - mastadon and pre-ban ivory violin-fiddle bow parts to the bow making community for many decades. The bow tips we manufacture are milled with precision and are sought after by luthiers for everything from the repair of student bows to international competition pieces.
PBE parts are whiter and stronger than FMI but cannot ship or transport internationally. FMI is softer and usually is off white or a tan color and it can ship internationally. See our shipping page for details and cost for international shipping.
Bow tips are made with 83 degree or 90 degree milled heads and you can select either one, they are the same price. These parts are available for violin, viola, cello and bass.
We also provide ancient mammoth - mastadon ivory button stock and frog blanks as well as sheets of fiber lining for bow tips.
