German Markneukirchen violin bow, silver, with a blank frog

This well-crafted silver mounted violin bow was made in Markneukirchen in the mid 20th century around 1940. The elastic, round stick is of medium strength, it was made of light brown pernambuco wood. A blank ebony frog is equipped with a white-green-rose shimmering mother of pearl slide and genuine silver mounts. The violin bow has an overall length of 74.2 cm and is well balanced and feels handy and convenient in the hand, the sensed balance-point is slightly inclined towards the upper half of the stick. The measured balance-point is at 25.9 cm from the frog end. This good Markneukirchen violin bow is in excellent condition and produces a warm, bright, somewhat soft sound. It works well with sharp sounding violins and adds a bit of volume to the tone.
