Full description
This exceptional and in mint condition cello bow is among the finest pieces ever crafted by Gehard Penzel: an example of the highest standards achieved by the post-war German bow-making generation: fine-crafted, precise, and robust. This elegant bow has a perfectly shaped octagonal light-brown Pernambuco wood stick made in his personal style, in which it is possible to notice the influence of the style of the Peccatte model used, especially in the shape of the head. The masterpiece is crowned with the most beautiful ebony, silver, and mother-of-pearl mounting.
