Morizot frères, French violin and viola bow circa 1945 (certificate)

Contemporary French violin and viola bow from the golden age of the Morizot family workshop

Morizot frères – the Morizot brothers – is the name under which the studio of this remarkable family of historic bow makers experienced the most successful phase of its history. This perfectly crafted violin bow, designed for both the violin and the viola, was created at the height of the company's success. Its perfect balance, responsive response, and warm, radiant sound define modern French string bow making.

When this Morizot frères violin bow and viola bow was added to the collection in the Corilon catalogue, our experts were persuaded not least by the natural, powerful and well equilibrated feel of the violin bow in the hand. With perfectly balanced total weight of 64 g, the powerful round stick made of red-brown pernambuco enables intuitive access to differentiated sound designs across all registers. The design of string bows for both instruments is a special feature of French workshops. The original features, with a nickel-mounted ebony frog with a Pearl eye and a one-piece button, are in very good condition; a few minimal scratches tell of the intensive use of this violin bow, which was obviously played a lot.
