About Fornaciari Junior
This bow was made by Fornaciari Junior for L'archet Brasil, the leading bow company which commissions work from master makers in Brazil.

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. It is made of ipe, a Brazilian hardwood which is very dense. Ipe offers an excellent alternative to pernambuco.
The round stick measures 728 mm in length and the mounts are of nickel and ebony.
The bow weighs 61 grams.
How does it play?
This bow draws out a relatively dark sound from the violin, with lots of warmth. There's no lack of power from the strong stick and the balance point is slightly closer to the head than on other bows, giving it a substantial feeling in the hand.
Condition
The bow is brand new.
