The magnificently curved head of this fine Charles Nicolas Bazin cello bow is a self-assured demonstration of craftsman excellence at its finest, using affordable materials. This fine French cello bow was made by Charles Nicolas Bazin, founder of one of the most famous bow-making ateliers in all of France, when he was approaching the zenith of its professional success. This powerful is very handy and reacts instantly, a fine and lightweight yet powerfully tense, active virtuoso cello bow that has a delicately crafted round stick which reflects the highest quality. Made of expertly selected brazil wood, almost modest appointments with a nickel-mounted ebony frog, mother-of-pearl eye and three-part adjuster play down the outstanding craftsmanship and musical qualities. The powerful and bright yet warm French sound of this cello bow, which has been maintained in very good condition, is complex and full of nuance.
