Master bow by Bernd Dölling, Erlbach/Markneukirchen in gold (gold bow)

German master violin bow with high-quality gold fittings, active, easy to handle, and powerful when played, with a rich, full, and voluminous sound. From the collection of a professional musician.

Bernd Dölling (* 1942) represents the third generation of the Vogtland bow-making family Dölling and, with this exquisite master violin bow, presents a work in which the best craft traditions of Saxon string bow making are brought to their most beautiful expression. A violin bow for professional musicians, which Bernd Dölling has rightly equipped with valuable gold fittings.

With its octagonal stick made of excellently selected pernambuco, this 61.4 g Bernd Dölling violin bow is active, responsive, and powerful to play, with a center of gravity pointing toward the tip. Its voluminous, large, and rich sound makes this bow, which we are selling on behalf of a professional violinist, ideal for solo playing—a classic masterpiece in the Markneukirchen tradition, crafted by Bernd Dölling in his most mature phase. The ebony frog with strikingly beautiful Parisian eyes and the real gold fittings reveal the quality of this first-class violin bow at first glance, which bears Bernd Dölling's original stamp on the stick above the frog. We deliver the bow ready to play, checked in our workshop, with free worldwide shipping and a 30-day return policy. Please note that our trade-in guarantee does not apply to this bow.
