Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Swan head bows are fairly rare and play exceedingly well; hence, they are much sought after by violinists who know bows! C.N. Bazin was famous for his swan-head bows. A supremely versatile and musical bow, and a great exemplar for a Bazin bow. The stick is of mid-brown pernambuco with a very attractive wood grain, mounts are silver and ebony, and no brand stamp. There are no significant condition issues either making this bow a rare find as it has few few signs of use. This is a tremendous bow for its price tag, and it would stand comparison with many Charles Peccatte or Lamy Pere bows. It has some of that same quality often found in these bow makers– richness of tone, power without stiffness, and above all adaptability, so that the bow can play across the repertoires. Excellent weight and balance, good attack, a smooth legato… this bow is a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing! Most likely make date is the 1880’s or 1890’s Excellent weight and balance, good attack, a smooth legato. If you want the bow certified, then that will be an additional five-hundred dollars. This is a professional caliber violin bow. Expect to pay double in any violin shop. Good spiccato. Pulls a superior sound. Professional caliber bow! Don't take my word for it. Play it yourself. You can have a 2-week trial period. If not happy, return the bow in the same condition you found it and I will send your refund. If you want to try the bow without paying, then you will need to travel either to Vermont or San Diego Ca. Strength: Strong, with little to no bend side-to-side and in the camber. Spiccato: Medium, with a crisp sound. Spiccato was played closer to the middle of the bow, away from the hand. Comfort: Comfortable and well balanced. Ease of playing: Easy to play, with consideration to the camber. Camber: The bow follows the camber and is even throughout the draw. Full Sound: Middle. Pairs nicely with a violin of great sound production. Depth: Capable of producing rich, nuanced sounds. Strong bow capable of a variety of textured sound. Price is half what a swan head C.N. Bazin bow would sell for in a violin shop.
