Does anybody know what kind of bow that Jimmy Page used in Dazed and Confused?

Also, does anybody know a good, cheap violin bow that I could use on my guitar? I am on a budget and I don't need the best thing out there.

Don't know what Pagey used, but here's a pretty cheap bow :

You also might want to check some violin repair shops.

Please you dont want to go there.lol I hated the whole bow effect and it sounds horrible to boot. I can remember seeing Zep in 76 or 77 and Page doing his solo then out came the bow and it was torture. Did you notice for everything any player has ever copped from Page and there are many ,you never see anyone cop the bow.

The bows that Page used were all rejects in some way. Either they were warped or old and he just plucked very cheaply knowing that it didn't matter because of how he was going to use them. Whether they sounded good or bad is moot, they are part of the Led Zeppelin sound
