French violin bow with the typical advantages of French bows: fluid and forgiving to play, producing a rich, warm sound.

With its outstanding quality, this French violin bow is exemplary of bow making in the classic instrument-making town of Mirecourt, where it was made at the turn of the 20th century. The medium-strength, round stick is made of very good tropical wood, as was used in many workshops of the time. Crafted by an unmistakably experienced hand, it is characterized by the playing and sound qualities for which French violin bows are still in demand worldwide today: with a focus on the upper half, it plays extremely smoothly and forgivingly, with a warm, rich sound of the best French provenance. Understated in its decoration, with a bare frog made of carefully selected ebony and nickel silver fittings, this 58.4 g violin bow is the right choice for discerning musicians who value a particularly good price-performance ratio. We deliver this bow worldwide with free shipping, a 30-day return policy, and the Corilon trade-in guarantee.
