Correct, no dowels, screws, or bolts - just glued. In the early days of Lowden’s pinless bridges I believe there were failures, but the causes were recognised and their methods were adapted. I see no evidence nowadays that Lowden pinless bridges are any more susceptible to failure that other builders’ pin-bridges - no empirical evidence, but that’s my gut-feeling anyway.
