Anybody familiar with this stamp? M. Prell.
The stick is good with a nice sweeping camber that rises evenly. The frog is seated very well. Nickel silver fittings.
I can only find one reference online. |

Nick,
Did you ever learn anything? There are so many stamps on German bows, and a lot of them seem to provide no hint about their true origin or maker. I do wish my Tourte was really by Tourte!

In fact I was told by a reputable shop that a real Tourte had no stamp at all... not sure if that is true..
Many stamps, like on violins, are made up names for a particular supplier or model. Don't know anything about a Prell.
If it has nickel silver fittings... it is likely (but not necessarily) a factory model of no great consequence.
If you want to pursue... check in with a reputable bow expert. depending on your location, someone here might point you in the right direction.
Cheers... Mat |

No. Still just one or two internet references of low repute.
The bow is OK. I'll probably sell it after having a friend try it out. |
