Csaba Erdélyi Endorsement I am a happy owner of two Berg viola bows made by Mr. Duff. I have been using these fine bows in concert performances for many years. Whenever I am in the Bloomington area I like to visit Mr. Duff in his workshop because he is always coming up with new ideas to further improve the quality of his bows. When I saw him a few weeks ago, he showed me a new bow that he had just fitted with a specially treated blackwood frog. I tried this bow on my instrument, and the purity, clarity, depth of tone and projection was truly amazing! Apart from the frog, the new bow was very similar to my own Berg bows, which do make a good sound. But the special frog transformed the whole new bow into pure tone! I have immediately asked Mr. Duff to make such a special new frog for my gold-mounted Berg bow. I believe that his new invention of this new type of frog will revolutionize the art of bow making.
