Excellent silver mounted violin bow
This excellent violin bow was made in Markneukirchen around 1930. The bow is able to produce a wide spectrum of different sound characteristics, from bright to sweet, open and crystal. Additionally the bow is made of premium materials and crafted with experience and passion. The round stick is agile, of medium strength, made of classy bright pernambuco wood. The ebony frog is silver mounted, the adjuster is silver with an ebony ring. The eye and the slide are made of shimmering Pearl, quiet accurate let into the hard ebony wood. Slightly shifted towards the frog, the felt balance-point is almost centered and the bow feels perfectly balanced in the hand. The measured balance-point of the 74,4 cm long bow is at 25,5 cm from the frog end.
