We are offering a masterpiece bow, T.SUGITO, from the Sugito Bow Company.

◆ About T.SUGITO
T.SUGITO was a brand manufactured and sold by the company during the era of the third-generation owner, Takeshi Sugito, and is believed to have been manufactured around the 1980s.

Bows with this engraving are no longer produced, and they hold high value as vintage items.

◆ M2 (Meister Grade) - Original Label Remains
This bow retains its original Sugito Bow Company shipping label on the stick near the frog, inscribed with No. M2 / SIZE 3/4, which serves as a definitive proof of its grade and size (please see photos). The stick also has a＊＊ engraving.

The M2 is a high-grade model in the Sugito Meister series, featuring genuine specifications with silver fittings for the frog, screw, ferrule, etc. It is made from premium Pernambuco wood that has passed rigorous selection tests.
The current model (4/4) has a list price of ¥275,000.

◆ Features of this Item - Tip Also Replaced with Silver
In addition to the standard silver fittings, the tip has also been replaced with silver, making it a full silver specification.

◆ Impressions from Playing
As expected from a high-grade model in the Sugito Meister series, this bow exhibits an extremely high standard in balance, grip, sound production, and playability.

The excellent balance is felt in the hand, and the bow grips the strings with a smooth, supple feel.

The sound response is clear, and the control over dynamics is excellent, offering a professional playing experience that belies its 3/4 size. We highly recommend it.
