Bows for Musical Instruments of the Violin Family is a seminal luthier reference book compiled by the late Chicago violinist Joseph H. Roda (1894–1963) and published in 1959 by William Lewis and Son of Chicago. The book is about bows and bow makers and includes detailed illustrations prepared by Gladys Mickel Bell (1901–1992).[1] Roda had been a violinist with the Chicago Grand Opera Company from 1933 to 1935 and a violist with the Chicago Symphony from 1936 to 1956[2][3] Bell, at the time, was a violinist, cellist, music educator, and sales person at William Lewis and Son.
