Full description
This great Modern German bow was made by the hands of a mastermaker. Amongst the greater names of the bow-making tradition in Markneukirchen, Kurt Dolling's bows are sought after for their reliability, precision, and functionality. This bow shows a strong yet gentle and elegant handle. With a rather reactive grip, the robust Pernambuco stick provides a stable and precise stiffness, which seems to have been a response to the demand of the musicians of the Soviet Union at the time and their techniques. The bow produces a light and sweet tone. It is in mint condition. The stick is made of a light-brown Pernambuco wood of classic bulk octagonal shape, adorned with a lovely precise handmade nickel-mounting.
