This French violin bow by André Chardon, made around 1950, with the original stamp “Chanot-Chardon Paris,” is a work of the Chanot-Chardon company. The Chanot-Chardon workshop was one of the established names in the French violin and bow trade in the 20th century and is particularly known for its extremely high-quality work based on classic Parisian models. André Chardon is one of the bow makers whose work was regularly sold under the Chanot-Chardon name. The round, medium-thick stick has its center of gravity in the middle. The ebony frog has a Parisian eye; the frog and the foot are very fine additions or copies from the same period. This fine André Chardon violin bow produces a silky, warm, and at the same time precise French sound with clear response. The medium-strength stick is not designed for high pressure loads, but is particularly suitable for players with a more pulling, flexible bowing technique. Overall, it is easy to handle and forgiving. The bow comes with a certificate from Pierre Guillaume. Like all our violin bows, it is delivered free of shipping costs, with a 30-day return policy and Corilon's trade-in guarantee.
