Marc Laberte, French violin bow, circa 1940

Very light, soft French violin bow made from high-quality pernambuco wood

In the early 20th century, Marc Laberte (1880–1963) led the Laberte Humbert frères company to achieve outstanding craftsmanship, which underscored the good name of the family workshops and manifested itself in works such as the violin bow offered here.

Made from high-quality, dark pernambuco, this very light French Laberte violin bow belongs to the upper class of French bows from Mirecourt simply because of the choice of this exquisite material. The extremely finely crafted head shows that this Laberte violin bow was made by an experienced hand who was familiar with the great model in detail. The round, nickel-silver mounted stick of this violin bow, which weighs approximately 48 g, plays softly; its center of gravity, which tends slightly toward the upper half, supports a more drawing playing technique. The warm yet bright sound of this active violin bow perfectly captures the characteristics of different violins with its pleasantly soft undertone.
