Charles Louis Bazin: French violin bow with Nicolas Vuillaume stamp (certificate by J.-F. Raffin)

French violin bow by Charles Louis Bazin, known as Louis Bazin. This violin bow is a beautiful piece of work from around 1920, in which Charles Louis Bazin (1881–1953) does justice to his origins in the famous Mirecourt family workshop. This fine, silver mounted Louis Bazin bow was made around 1920, and it pays full honour to its heritage from the famous Mirecourt family ateliers. This violin bow is a forgiving and active player, it fits well in the hand, is very responsive and is excellent for active play with its bright, clear and radiant, powerful sound. The strong round stick was made of dark-brown pernambuco and features good strength and elasticity. The distinctive head was patterned after the Bazin family model; the ebony frog with nickel silver fittings is decorated by a long mother-of-pearl slide. At a length of 74.4 cm, this Louis Bazin violin bow has its balance point centered, somewhat inclined towards the upper half of the stick which allows more control on the stick. It is preserved in good playing condition, with a growth mark to teh middle of the stick, and has been worked over by our luthiers and is offered ready to play. The original stamp NICOLAS VUILLAUME above the frog is probably a model designation. Like all instruments and bows from Corilon, this includes free shipping, 30 days returns and our trade-guarantee. The certificate by J.-F. Raffin is included in the price.
