French violin bow from the atelier of the great Charles Nicolas Bazin made around 1900. The stable round stick was made in keeping with Tourte’s model, a source of inspiration which C. N. Bazin turned to more and more during this period. This tendency would become a recurring theme in his work, which had to be set aside for many years after he had to take on the family business following his father’s sudden death. In the last two decades of the 19th century, an extremely successful era of his life, Charles Nicolas Bazin was able to find new ways to express the light and dynamicprinciple that makes Voirin bows distinctive. This affordable French violin bow, which weighs 60 g, is an excellent example of the success of his approach. Its balance point is measured at 26.9 cm of the overall length of 28.6 cm and is perceived as being centred. Made of well-selected bee wood, the bow stamped Tourte has classically beautiful premium fittings with a nickel-mounted ebony frog graced by a Pearl eye and three-part adjuster (the adjuster being a later replacement).. It has been completely set up and is now in perfect condition, ready to play, and its bright, sweet, warm sound is compelling. Ready to play, free shipping, with a 30-day return policy and Corilon's take-back guarantee.
