1/2 Violin Bow Maker: FINKEL Grade: Atelier Country of Origin: Switzerland Used bow from about 20 years ago. No warping when strung. Screw movement is problem-free. Has dirt, minor scratches, and dullness/stains on the metal parts. Will be delivered after rehairing. Even with mass-produced bows, it was common to use Pernambuco wood for stringed instrument bows. In recent years, this has become difficult, and even expensive bows and makers are forced to use other materials, which is a regrettable situation. The used bows we sell at Atta!! are bows made properly with Pernambuco wood from that time. The frog material and screw materials are also excellent, as they were then. We hope these bows will be passed on to others, so that children can learn about and use the real thing.
