      Full description

      This great Modern French bow was made by the hands of a mastermaker at the peak of his experience and maturity. Amongst the greater names of the bow-making tradition in Mirecourt, François Lotte's bows are sought after for their reliability, precision, and quality. This bow shows a strong yet gentle and elegant handle. With a rather reactive grip, the finely octagonal-shaped stick provides a stable and precise stiffness, and the incredibly low-density fine Pernambuco wood makes it a fast and decisive bow. The bow produces a strong and direct response and tone and is in mint condition. The stick is made of orange-brown timber with a precisely and perfectly shaped bulk octagonal shape, adorned with a lovely handmade silver and ebony-mounting, classic of his finest works.

      Violin by Primo Contavalli, Imola 1950

      By Primo Contavalli  |  , 1950

      A bold and modernist violin by Primo Contavalli, made in Imola in the 1950s and loosely based on the Guarneri ‘Del Gesù’ style. This instrument stands out with its angular corners, clear varnish, and decorative purfling beneath the fingerboard, tailpiece, and around the pegs. In our view, the artistic edgework and confident design give this violin a truly distinctive voice and character.
