Sugito Violin Bow Full size (4/4) A master bow from the discontinued Sugito M1 grade. The fittings are silver, making it a high-grade specification. The silver wire is unwrapped, and the leather grip is also beautiful, but there is a scratch on the stick. (I acquired it in this condition. I haven't used it much...) The hair has been replaced for the listing, and the stick is perfectly straight with no warping, so it's ready to use immediately. This is a master bow by the 4th generation Koji Sugito, which is rarely seen even in the used market. It has the K. Sugito stamp used until 2008, and it's a work from about 20 years ago. It's good for practical use, and also for collection purposes as a Japanese vintage item. (I've never seen an M1 label that has been discontinued. In that respect, it is extremely rare.) The price is higher than the original retail price, but if you are interested, please consider it.
