Lightweight German violin bow handmade in the 1930's. The violin bow and probably comes from a workshop in the Markneukirchen area. The soft, round stick is made of fine, light brown pernambuco wood and is very well balanced. The violin bow plays soft and forgiving. A rose-green shimmering mother-of-pearl slide adorns the ebony frog with mother-of-pearl eye, executed in simple beauty. At a length of 74.7 cm, the ready-to-play violin bow weighs 57.7 g and is easy to play due to its balance point in the lower third for a warm, mellow sound. The violin bow is therefore best suited to sharp or garish sounding violins and does not tolerate much pressure.
