Fine English violin bow from the workshop of W. E. Hill & Sons

The typical playing characteristics of violin bows from the venerable house of W. E. Hill & Sons, which are exhibited by this fine, unmarked English violin bow, are an unmistakable indication of its maker's relationship to this famous workshop. Crafted from premium materials, it will win over discerning musicians with its large, full-bodied sound that is full of warmth and lively brightness.

The undecorated frog and whalebone winding appear as an expression of British understatement in view of the excellent musical properties and the noble quality of the materials used. The strong octagonal stick made of dark reddish-brown pernambuco and the finely crafted, silver-mounted ebony frog make the practiced eye all the more impressed by the masterful work they are. With its well-placed center of gravity in the lower half, this violin bow allows for a wide range of differentiated playing techniques.
