This French violin bow, which probably comes from the renowned ateliers of Ouchard in Mirecourt, is a meticuously worked piece with a powerful, radiant sound and nickel silver mount that is highly recommended for playing. It was made around 1920 from dark brown tropical wood, with a medium-thick octagonal stick that is reactive yet strong in character. The bright, clear, French tone produced by this good violin bow is crisp and strong. The ebony frog, with its mother-of-pearl eye and nickel silver mounting, is of typical quality. The center of gravity of the violin bow, which weighs 58.6 g and is 74.6 cm long including the adjusting screw, is quite central, wide, slightly towards the upper half, and is measured at 25.9 cm. The warm, bright, large and clear sound produced by this well-preserved and ready-to-play French violin bow from a good maker is rich in volume and highly appropriate to its provenance. It suits dull or soft sounding violins by bringing clarity to the tone. Free shipping, 30-day return policy, trade-in guarantee.
