Baroque bow (student) 4/4

General introduction:

The bow in question is a handmade instrument, designed with attention to detail and functionality. The design and materials used reflect a traditional approach, while the finish and balance emphasize the versatility of the bow.

Details about the craftsmanship:

• Wood type and quality: The stick is made of pernambuk wood, a high-quality choice because of the strength and elasticity required for good response and flexibility. The wood shows an even density and fine grain, which contributes to a good resonance.

• Frog and knob: The frog is made of ebony with a classic, sober finish. The knob is metal with a smooth finish, which allows for a firm and easy adjustment of the hair tension.

• Grip: The grip is wrapped in leather, which provides a comfortable grip and control while playing.

• Hair: The hair used is natural horsehair, uniformly placed and applied with optimum tension.

• Unusual features: The balance and weight distribution point to a carefully designed model, suitable for players who value precision and flexibility.

• Stamp: The stick has no visible stamp identifying a specific maker or workshop.

• Damage: There are no visible damages or abnormalities to the stick, indicating a well-maintained and carefully finished product.

Style and construction techniques:

The bow follows the French tradition of bow making, where precision, balance and ease of play are key. The influence of classical makers such as Tourte is clearly visible in the bow’s curve and the elegance of the frog. The absence of a stamp may indicate that the bow did not come from an individual master builder, but rather from a well-organized workshop where craftsmanship is the norm.
