A Bow by Emil Max Penzel

Violin Bow by Emil Max Penzel, Erlbach, c. 1930

A unique mastermaker crafted this Exceptional Pre-WorldWarII German bow. 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. In our opinion, the most noticeable aspect of this bow, beyond the excellent craftsmanship, is the stunning high-quality Pernambuco wood. More

      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.

      Emil Max Penzel

      Emil Max Penzel, a renowned German violin bow maker, began his career possibly apprenticing at esteemed workshops like H.R. Pfretzschner. Penzel's commitment to excellence led him to establish his workshop in Erlbach in the 1930s, where he meticulously crafted violin bows of unparalleled quality until his passing in 1953. Learn more

      Violin by Hyun Jung Park, Cremona 2024

      By Hyun-Jung Park  |  

      This stunning 'Del Gesù' Inspired copy was crafted by a rising star maker. Deeply inserted in the research about the model, Park united her refined and precise handcrafting with the free artistic approach of copying, which was beautifully combined in this outstanding, elegant instrument. This violin highpoint, in our opinion, is the captivating outline of the instrument body, elegantly elongated at the C's, short-cornered, and delicately edged and purfled.
