Markneukirchen bow maker August Edwin Prager (1875-1956) learned the artisanry of bow making from his father Friedrich Wilhelm Prager. After his apprenticeship he worked in the renowned shop of Ludwig Bausch in Leipzig. At the turn of the century he started to work for himself in Schönlind. 1930 he moved to Markneukirchen, where this oustanding viola bow was crafted. Its round pernambuco shaft bears the original brand stamp and features good strength and is of a light brown color. The bow is pretty light and almost without any sensible balance-point. Its head is shaped precisely and demonstrates Prager´s experience and skills. The nickel ebony frog is distinctively designed, the slide and the Parisian eye are made of white mother of pearl. The sensed balance point is in the uppe rhalf of the stick and allows very good tip control. This excellent viola bow was worked over by our luthiers and is offered ready to produce a bright, warm, colorful sound of good volume. Delivered free of charge, with a 30-day return policy and Corilon's trade-in guarantee.
