      Full description

      This Exceptional Pre-WorldWarII German bow was crafted by a unique mastermaker. One of the most recognized makers of Germany's early 1900s, Emil Max Penzel, elegantly displays his references and his origins among the makers of the Pfretszchner workshop in this bow, yet preserves and flaunts his own style. This bow shows a strong and robust grip, as expected for the maker's style, and impressive and smooth stability. The bow enhances the mid-range harmonics of the instruments, empowering its projection. In mint condition, this bow's stick is made of extremely high-quality light-brown Pernambuco wood of traditional octagonal shape. The nickel-mounting is elegant and well crafted, despite the probably limited access to high-quality silvery at the period.

      Violin by Cristiano Ferrazzi, Verona 2006

      By Cristiano Ferrazzi  |  , 2006

      Crafted in 2006 in Verona, this violin by Cristiano Ferrazzi showcases the maker’s personal model and eye for classical beauty. With a bearclaw spruce top, deeply flamed two-piece maple back, and vivid red-orange varnish, it exudes warmth and character. In our opinion, the standout feature is the precisely inlaid, dark-toned purfling, which adds striking definition and elegance to this finely balanced instrument.
