The stamp on this bow is worn to the extent that it is illegible and strictly speaking it is of unknown origin. One immediately notices the beautiful swan's head tip, which could serve as an identifier.
This bow truly is magnificent with outstanding playing properties. Its articulation in detaché and spiccato is almost ideal and combined with superb weight distribution and steadiness this bow makes difficult passages seem a lot easier.
This bow is a career acquisition and should be in the hands of a demanding professional or very advanced player.
