The Bowtech Podcast

Dear BowTechers,

I’m finding myself a bit restricted by the subject matter I laid out for myself in this podcast and so I am going to rethink a new podcast. Thanks so much to all of you who were listening. Please feel free to post any ideas you may have about the potential new podcast and if this is your first download please do go back and listen to the previous 36–there’s lots of good stuff there!

Thanks again.

Erik Friedlander

Ron Fletcher is back this week. We discuss the kinds of papers you may find when buying an instrument. I am looking to sell a cello I purchased years ago and played as my first instrument for quite a while. It has a phony label and papers to support it…what’s up with that?! Ron explains what to look for and what to avoid.
