Old French Bow |
Mirecourt France, Circa 1930 |
Model: French Pernambuco Double Bass Bow with Silver Fittings (Round Stick) |
Weight: 126 Grams |
Length of Stick from Tip (not including Screw): 26 3/8 inches |
Playing Length of Hair: 21 3/16 inches |
Comments: This is a very old unstamped French
Bow with a Low Frog. It is fairly light yet stays on the String when
playing and has a very smooth dark sound. Recently this Bow was sent to Sue Lipkins for re-hair and evaluation and commented after examining the Bow the work looked to be of the Mirecourt School and not German as previously thought. This is a great Bow for any style of playing.
Note: There is some slight wear/damage to the lower rear face of the Frog which does not hinder it's use. |
