Fine violin bow: Richard Weichold, Dresden circa 1880

Excellent playability and sound characteristics qualify this lightweight violin bow by Richard Weichold as a partner for musicians oriented towards virtuosity – and demonstrate the mature art of this master, who, according to Heinrich Knopf and H. R. Pfretzschner, is one of the most interesting protagonists of Saxon bow making.

This fine violin bow by highly esteemed Richard Weichold was made around 1880 in Dresden. The lightweight, octagonal, highly elastic and highly active stick of good strength is crafted of exquisite red-brown pernambuco and has a fine ebony frog with silver fittings, a mother-of-pearl eye and a white-green colored mother-of-pearl slide. The delicately crafted head and frog show exquisitely mastery. This fine Richard Weichold violin bow is perfectly balanced, it has its balance point well-centered and is an extremely agile violin bow suitable for virtuoso play that features a bright, warm, sweet sound. Like all violin bows from us this includes Corilon's trade-in option and an optional certificate of appraisal.
