Default Gibson made string instruments and bows....

Hey all,
Did you know that Gibson tried to corner the German musical instrument market during WWII, by making violins viola s cellos basses and bows!! There is a website devoted to this and I picked up a GIBSON pernambucco bow!
It is an amazing bow too! Just thought you'd enjoy that.I'll get a pic of the bow for y'all! Regards, Jan
