Unstamped silver-mounted violin bow

The round, pernambuco stick sits well on the string and draws a warm, clear sound despite the bow’s relatively light weight of 58.1 grams. Articulation in fast string crossings is good, and the bow produces a reliable, steady spiccato. Like many unbranded silver-mounted German bows of the late nineteenth or early twentieth centuries period, this bow will provide a good playing experience for students in the higher grades, or for committed amateur players, at a good price relative to branded bows from well-known workshops.
