- Violin Bow, 1790-1795 - Henry Ford collected fine classical violin bows, as well as fine violins. This bow was made in the Tourte Workshop--a well-known family of French bow makers. By the early 1800s, Francois Xavier Tourte developed--through modifications which took years to perfect--the modern violin bow. Violinists could now play their instruments using techniques that couldn't be accomplished before this time.
