Powerful German violin bow, 1950's, Markneukirchen

Affordable old Markneukirchen violin bow of good quality

This good quality violin bow was made approx. 1950 in Markneukirchen, Saxony, a skilled work that was made of attractive light-brown pernambuco wood. The strong octagonal stick features high tension and is an excellent player. The elegant head is finely carved, the handmade nickel-mounted ebony frog has a slide of greenish-rose mother-of-pearl, that is typical for Markneukirchen bow making. The percieved balance point is in the upper half of the stick, the measured balance point is at 26.9 cm including the adjuster. This bow is a recommendable, strong and active violin bow that we can recommend and that features a strong, large, warm, focussed sound of character.
