      Full description

      This extraordinary silver-mounted bow perfectly exhibits the elegance and refinement that defined most of François Lotte's works at the first stage of his career. This bow of excellent playability and tonal quality was made in c. 1925 for the firm of Charles Bailly, as it carries fire-stamped at the stick over the Frog. This bow was probably one of Lotte's first commission contracts after he left Eugene Brouillier's shop to start his own. The bow, made in his own style, presents an aggressive grip, and the very light-density Pernambuco wood stick makes it a very practical, fast-speed bow. It is possible to notice the very deep influence of Bazin's family tradition in his making in this period, slowly turning into something much more personal.

      Violin by Clement & Pilz, Leipzig, 2022

      By Klaus Clement & Alexander Pilz  |  

      This exceptional violin, antiqued style, was inspired by Guarneri 'Del Gesù' 1744 "Leduc" violin. Crafted by the hands of experienced makers. Alexander and Klaus combined experience and expertise, and the attention and focus dedicated to each of the very few violins made, make this instrument so special. From our point of view, the high-light of this Guarneri Copy is the strong looking bear-claw figure at the Spruce top.
