Black & White
Using the combination of ebony and fossil mammoth, the concept was born out of a “dual design” of the frog and button. Extending this idea to the metalwork as well, one is confronted with the technical challenge of soldering all the parts half-and-half. These have to be centered perfectly on a line all around the frog, including the top slide.
Until now Netland has chosen to combine ebony with white gold on the player’s side, and mammoth and rosè gold on the audience side. Some “black-and-white” bows have a double face tip plate. This takes at least two days to glue to the head of the stick, since each of the 4 parts has to be lined up and glued separately.
This innovation carries an international design patent.
