A master-crafted violin bow by Gerhard Walter Renz, whose work enjoyed an outstanding reputation. Precisely balanced, a bright and warm voice and comfortable dynamic playing properties.

Gerhard Walter Renz’ original stamp on a bow is a symbol of excellence in the art of German bow making and confirms this violin bow to be a top-tier selection; its acoustic and playing properties will satisfy the highest standards. The perfectly executed weight distribution of the thick octagonal stick and finely crafted head are testament to Renz’ comprehensive training in the classic styles of European bow making which he refined over the course of his career. The centred balance point which slightly tends towards the lower half of the violin bow is measured at 26.6 cm of the total length of 74.5 cm (including the button), which explains why this violin bow handles very lightly and comfortably; its dimensions translate its dynamic activity into a powerful, warm, bright and highly precise sound. With its elegant silver fittings, an ebony frog with a Parisian eye and a three-part button, this warmly recommended Gerhard Walter Renz violin bow is in perfect condition, and the expert specialists in our workshop have set it up and made it ready to play.
