Description from the seller

1. Introduction

A beautifully handcrafted Baroque violin bow, blending historical elegance with modern precision. Designed for period performance, this bow reproduces the graceful proportions of 18th-century models while employing a carbon fiber stick for superior balance, stability, and responsiveness.

2. Historical and Artistic Context

Baroque bows evoke the sound world of Corelli, Vivaldi, and early Mozart — characterized by nuanced phrasing and light articulation. This modern interpretation follows the aesthetic of early Italian and German examples, combining historical design fidelity with contemporary material innovation.

3. Craftsmanship and Materials

The stick is crafted from high-quality carbon fiber, finished in a deep ebony tone with a hand-polished surface that mirrors the look of traditional wood.
The frog and screw are made of rosewood, turned and shaped in authentic Baroque style, adding warmth and visual contrast.
The hair is natural white horsehair, evenly tensioned for precise bowing response.

4. Tonal Character and Playability

At 50 g, this bow offers an agile, buoyant feel and a quick, articulate attack—ideal for historically informed performance. It provides exceptional control for spiccato, détaché, and expressive phrasing in Baroque and Classical repertoire.

5. Condition

Brand-new and fully functional. The hair, tip, and fittings are in pristine condition. No structural issues or signs of use. Ready for immediate professional performance.

6. Measurements
• Total length: 70 cm
• Weight: 50 g

7. Packaging, Shipping, and Warranty

Securely packed in a reinforced tube and shipped with full insurance and tracking. Worldwide delivery available.

8. Attribution

Handcrafted in the modern Baroque performance tradition, inspired by early 18th-century European models, reimagined with carbon fiber technology for contemporary durability.
