The Markneukirchen bow maker August Rau learned the bow making trade in the 1880s from the Nürnberger family and then worked in Dresden for some time

This fine violin bow is an excellently preserved example in nickel silver by August Rau. After his time in Dresden and with a wealth of experience gained with the renowned bow makers Knopf and Weichold, August Rau opened his own workshop in Markneukirchen in 1890. There, in the middle of the 20th century, he made this fine August Rau violin bow from the finest pernambuco wood. A beautiful mother-of-pearl slide and a mother-of-pearl eye adorn the striking ebony frog. The violin bow has its center of gravity in the middle, minimally in the lower half. Free shipping, with a 30-day return policy.
