About the violin bow
The round stick measures 725 mm in length and is made of attractive, highly-figured pernambuco.
The mounts are gold and ebony and the bow weighs 64 grams.
How does it play?
This is a calm, fluid bow that brings out the higher harmonics in the violin. It produces a slightly vintage sound and is exceptionally smooth to play; taken together, these features put together really remind us of Grappelli!
Condition
The bow is in excellent original condition with one small chip to the frog.
