For over fifty years Frank Passa’s San Francisco violin shop was one of the most important on the west coast. In 1978 he brought in Reid Kowallis and Morgan Andersen as bow makers, who had just graduated from the violin making school in Salt Lake City, UT. They made superb bows which were branded F.PASSA SF.  Between ’78 and ’82, Reid won several medals at VSA competitions. This is an especially nice example of Reid’s elegant work and is gold mounted.
