Unknown - Violin bow - Unknown (No reserve price)

1. Introduction A finely crafted German violin bow in the baroque tradition, reflecting the elegant simplicity and functional grace characteristic of 18th-century design. This piece embodies the precision and discipline of German craftsmanship, executed in beautifully grained reddish-brown pernambuco-style wood. 2. Historical and Artistic Context Inspired by early baroque performance practice, this bow follows the classical model used by musicians of the Bach and Handel era. Its open frog and rounded screw recall the authentic forms developed before the rise of the modern Tourte model, offering both historical accuracy and refined playability. 3. Craftsmanship and Materials Handmade in Germany from carefully selected hardwood with a deep, expressive grain. The stick balances strength and flexibility perfectly, while the open frog is carved with precision and finished to reveal the natural texture of the wood. The tip is elegantly shaped, adhering closely to traditional baroque proportions. 4. Tonal Character and Playability Light, responsive, and articulate. This bow produces a clear, resonant tone ideally suited to historically informed performance. It enables subtle phrasing and excellent control, combining dynamic range with expressive freedom for both solo and ensemble use. 5. Condition In mint condition, showing no structural or cosmetic flaws. Newly haired and ready for immediate use. No case included. 6. Measurements • Total length: approx. 71 cm • Balance point: approx. 22.5 cm from the frog 7. Packaging, Shipping, and Warranty Carefully packed in reinforced tubing for complete protection during transport. Worldwide shipping with insurance and tracking. Every shipment is handled with professional care to ensure safe arrival. 8. Attribution Crafted in the German tradition of 18th-century baroque bow making, with faithful attention to historical proportions and musical authenticity.
