About A. Carvalho
This bow was made by Carvalho for L'archet Brasil, the leading bow company which commissions work from master makers in Brazil. The bows are all handmade by individual archetiers before being distributed by the firm all across the world. The company has developed an excellent reputation for its focus on sustainability: their work in developing excellent alternatives to pernambuco is of particular note.
These bows are selected by us in conjunction with our Head of Workshop. We assess the bows for both quality and playing characteristics, selecting the best for sale.
About the violin bow
This violin bow was made in Brazil. Very excitingly, it is made of Mexican pernambuco! This wood is not subject to the same restrictions as Brazilian pernambuco, and we're delighted with how it plays.
The round stick measures 728 mm in length and the mounts are of nickel and ebony.
The bow weighs 62 grams.
How does it play?
This is a crisp, bright bow which draws out lots of upper harmonics. It would pair extremely well with a violin that needs a little extra brilliance to the sound.
Condition
The bow is brand new.
Certification
The bow comes with the maker's certificate, guaranteeing the source of the wood.
