French violin bow by Marc Laberte, made around 1940 - excellent sound and powerful playing
This fine French violin bow was made by Marc Laberte in the 1940's in Mirecourt, the center of classical French violin and bow making. Marked with a later stamp, the originally unstamped active medium-strong stick is a fine personal work of Marc Laberte, who built his violin bows from reddish-brown pernambuco and finished them with a finely crafted, nickel-silver mounted ebony frog and a handsome, one-piece adjuster. Carefully crafted to reveal a well-trained and experienced hand, this Marc Laberte violin bow impresses with the excellent French sound and playing characteristics of its centered balance point, which is measured at 25.0 cm of the 74.4 cm long stick. This excellent violin bow lies comfortably in the hand and is easy to control. We recommend this perfectly preserved violin bow for its clear, large and powerful French tone that it produces with rich volume.
