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 at an affordable price.
The bow weighs 61 grams and measures 729 mm in length. The mounts are of silver and ebony and the stick is round in cross section.
How does it play?
This bow has a stick on the strong side of medium. It produces a full sound which is not too warm and muddy, and not to bright either – pleasingly middle of the road!
