Thread: Coticule HAD !!

I don't really know too much about coticules. When I was starting in violin making they had just started to get hard to buy, and my friends were in the process of moving through Frictionite to Japanese stones (and I know a few still have almost unused Frictionite stones in the backs of drawers :-)

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I thought it would be interesting to try one, so I got a largish bout (about 2 x 5" ) from TSS that I might use as a travel stone if I can figure out how to work it. And he sent along a quirky slurry stone that seems useful on its own, too! I gave it a spin, and it looks like we'll probably get along OK. It's nothing fancy, but it's mine!



That's my bumpy brass lathering bowl underneath, and a couple of my double ducks.
