      Full description

      This amazing cello bow is a perfect and fine-crafted snapshot of Pfretzschner's work at the beginning of the 20th Century. This elegant bow has a perfectly shaped round dark-brown Pernambuco wood stick made in the style of F.N Voirin, whose elegance and refinement expose all the high-level qualities achieved by the maker. The dense dark ebony and silver frog carries the stamp of the Saxon royal court of arms, as in all Pfretzschner bows after 1901. This bow highlight is the elegant roundness noticeable in the perfect shape of the angled forward projected head.

      Hermann Richard Pfretzschner

      One of the greatest names of German Bow-making school, H.R Pfretzschner was born within the craft, and learned from his father, Carl Richard Pfretzschner in Markneukirchen. After Working in Paris for J.B. Vuillaume, he gave birth to one of the most long-lasting traditional family business in the german bow-making community. Learn more

      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.
