Fine Markneukirchen violin bow

This masterly handcrafted violin bow origins from the traditional Markneukirchen. It was made at the beginning of the 20th century, presumably around the year 1910. The round reddish brown stick is made of high-grade pernambuco wood, which is highly elastic and with excellent tension. These attributes help the player, for they make the bow active and handy. The stick rejuvenates towards the top, to end in a detailed and precisely carved head. The deeply black colored ebony frog is sterling silver mounted and adorned with a creamy white mother of pearl slide. The felt balance-point of the violin bow is centered, tending slightly towards the head. Its measured balance point is at 27.0 cm from the frog end. The bow was made ready to play in our workshop and generates a warm, precise strong tone.
