This active French violin bow hails from one of the most renowned workshops of modern French bow making: Morizot freres. It was made after 1950, during the heyday of the family business founded by Louis Joseph Morizot. The outstanding French violin bows of this period are known for their mature aesthetics and excellent playing characteristics and are still highly regarded today.

It is ideal for advanced, discerning players who appreciate its strong, overtone-rich sound and characteristic French tone quality. Comes with a certificate of authenticity from J. F. Raffin, Paris, one of the most renowned experts on French bows.
