This French classical violin bow of the Francois Xavier Bazin school is an interesting discovery in the Corilon catalog. The choice of an indeterminable exotic wood of brown-red color and striking grain and the shape of the head are a clear indication of the orientation towards Francois Xavier Bazin, to whom the bow maker was obviously committed. His style impressively demonstrates the high level of workmanship in Mirecourt during the transition period to the modern bow. The medium-strength, round stick of the classic violin bow on offer is fitted with a simple, bare ebony frog and decorated in a restrained manner with a small ivory leg. The center of gravity of the bow is 26.5 cm of the total length of 74.5 cm and is felt in the middle of the upper half. Its musical quality is demonstrated by the fine, clear and noble sound with a silvery, bright character that this rare violin bow produces - ready to play immediately after a complete reconditioning in our specialist workshop.
