AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1. Introduction
Offered here is an unstamped cello bow in a refined, traditional style. With its warm reddish-brown stick, classic ebony frog, and understated metal fittings, it presents as a practical, musician-focused bow—ideal for daily playing, study, and ensemble work.
2. Historical and Artistic Context
Many well-made cello bows were produced in European and workshop traditions without a visible maker’s stamp, especially when intended for straightforward professional use rather than branded retail lines. This bow follows that classical aesthetic: clean proportions, durable materials, and a functional setup aimed at reliable performance.
3. Craftsmanship and Materials
• Stick: reddish-brown hardwood in a classical bow-making style (wood species not certified).
• Frog: ebony frog with a traditional profile and round decorative eye.
• Mountings: silver-coloured metal fittings (not tested).
• Grip & winding: leather thumb grip present; winding appears tidy and functional.
• Overall build: solid, understated, and suited to regular use.
4. Tonal Character and Playability
This type of bow is typically valued for a stable response and predictable handling, offering secure string contact and dependable articulation—qualities particularly appreciated for orchestral repertoire, chamber music, and everyday practice.
5. Condition
Good overall condition, with normal signs of use consistent with a regularly played bow:
• No stamp visible in the provided photos (presented as unstamped).
• Bow is newly haired
• No obvious major breaks are visible in the images provided.
6. Measurements
• Overall length (tip to end of button): 71,5 cm
• Approx. hair length (playing hair): 60 cm
• Weight: 80g
7. Packaging, Shipping, and Warranty
The bow will be securely packed in a rigid protective package with a sturdy tube to protect the head, stick, and frog during transit. Shipping will be handled with care and appropriate protection for long-distance transport. Sold as shown in the photographs.
8. Attribution
