Baroque Violin Bow Approx. 75cm Snakewood

German-made Baroque violin bow by Bernhard Ritschard, approximately 75cm in length, producing a beautiful tone. The balance of the curve, length, weight, and flexibility is truly characteristic of a Baroque bow! I have used this bow for a long time but am selling it as I have purchased a new one.

・The hair tension is clip-on type, not screw-based.
Two frogs of different heights are included. This allows for some adjustment of hair tension and stretch. For finer adjustments, I used to insert small pieces of leather.
The trick is to slightly press the tip of the bow to flex it while inserting the frog.

・I primarily used this bow for late Baroque composers such as Vivaldi, Tartini, Veracini, Telemann, and Mossi, but due to the lightness of the clip-on system, it is also suitable for early and mid-Baroque music.

・After the last rehairing, it has only been rosined once.

・Brown hair.

・I purchased it for ¥250,000 + tax, but currently, ordering one would be more expensive due to treaties with Brazil and rising wood prices.
