Violin bow by Otto Dürrschmidt

This perfectly preserved violin bow originates from the workshops of the renowned Markneukirchen bow maker Otto Carl Dürrschmidt. After his death in the year 1922 the business was successfully continued by his two sons Kurt Otto and Carl Wilhelm. They also adopted the traditional brandmark and the initials of their father, so we can find the name OTTO DÜRRSCHMIDT and the OD emblem on the shaft and on the frog. The octagonal stick is made of tough reddish brown pernambuco wood, which is slightly patinated. The ebony frog is silver-mounted and adorned with a shimmering pearl slide. It also features a Parisian eye. The bow was completely reconditioned in our workshop and is offered ready to play; its total length is 74.6 cm, with a sensed balance-point tending towards the head. Its measured balance-point is at 28.0 cm. The bow produces a clear, bright, precise and crisp sound.
