Fine silver mounted H.R. Pfretzschner violin bow

This reddish brown artist bow is an original piece by Hermann Richard Pfretzschner, made in Markneukirchen in the 1940ies. The shaft is stamped with H.R. Pfretzschners name, which is of excellent reputation. The octagonal stick is made of finest red pernambuco wood and features good stiffness. The black ebony frog is silver mounted and is decorated with a wite mother-of-pearle slide, a Parisian eye and the original H. R. Pfretzschner emblem. This bow was made ready to play by our luthiers and features an overall length of 74.0 cm, with a measured balance-point at 27.5 cm from the frog end. The sensed balance-point is well-centered with a slight tendance towards the head. The perfectly preserved bow produces a large, round and strong sound and offers vigorous and agile playing properties.
