Made from high-quality, dark pernambuco, this lightweight French Marc Laberte violin bow belongs to the upper echelon of French bows from Mirecourt, if only because of the choice of this exquisite material. The finely crafted head shows that this Laberte violin bow was made by an experienced hand, familiar with the great model in detail. The round, nickel-silver mounted stick of this violin bow, which weighs a total of around 54 g, plays well balanced and actively; its central balance point supports the playing technique. The warm and at the same time bright sound of this active violin bow excellently picks up the characteristics of different violins with its pleasantly soft undertone.
