Noble German violin bow
This masterly crafted piece of art was manufactured in Markneukirchen around the year 1910. The round stick consists of exceptionally beautiful reddish brown pernambuco wood, the stick with very good tension. A nickel mounted ebony frog is placed below the filigrane winding and the maximum grip providing black thumb leather. The frog ist equipped with a turqoise shimmering mother of pearl slide and a white Parisian eye. The violin bow has an overall length of 74.6 cm and is perfectly balanced, though not too light. The sensed balance-point is centered, while the measured balance-point is at 26.5 cm from the frog end. The antique violin bow is in excellent condition and produces a noble, fine and differentiated sound.
