Charles Nicolas Bazin: French violin bow from around 1890 (certificate J.-F. Raffin)

This lightweight French violin bow by Charles Nicolas Bazin, modeled after the Tourte design and made around 1890, is characterized by its simple beauty and elegance. A relatively light, medium-strength, and responsive violin bow with outstanding tone and a certificate from J.-F. Raffin, crafted from top-quality pernambuco wood, which produces a bright and sweet tone; it was made in Mirecourt around 1880, toward the end of the 19th century. The shaft is round and has good tension, of medium thickness, with reddish-brown wood featuring a magnificent grain and luster. The black ebony frog, showing minor signs of age, is pleasing in its clean lines and features a nickel-silver mount. The perceived center of gravity is centered, slightly toward the lower half. This Charles Nicolas Bazin master violin bow, prepared and ready to play, sits very well in the hand and plays with a lively response, producing a bright, warm, refined, and resonant tone. The price includes a certificate from J.-F. Raffin, Paris.
