Light English violin bow from the circle of W. E. Hill & Sons – light and highly responsive, spring bow for virtuoso playing
The consistently remarkable playing characteristics of violin bows from the traditional workshop of W. E. Hill & Sons, which distinguish this fine, unstamped English violin bow, are a clear indication of its maker's connection to this famous workshop. Made from fine materials, this very responsive, light, and handy violin bow with a medium to soft stick will impress demanding musicians with its bright, sweet tone full of warmth and lively clarity.
In view of the excellent musical qualities and the fine quality of the materials used, the simple leather wrapping, which suggests that the bow was also used for Baroque playing, appears to be an expression of British understatement. However, the medium to soft, active stick made of dark reddish-brown pernambuco and the finely crafted, silver-mounted ebony frog allow the trained eye to recognize all the more impressively what a masterful piece of work they are. With its well-placed center of gravity in the lower half, this violin bow allows for a wide range of differentiated playing techniques.
