This is a Sivori brand violin bow, believed to have been manufactured in West Germany around the 1960s-1970s.
Sivori was a popular brand distributed through the American company Scherl & Roth at the time, and is now a rare vintage item that is no longer in production.

Although it was mass-produced, the stick material and processing precision are excellent by today's standards. With current trade restrictions on Pernambuco due to the Washington Convention, it is generally priced at over $500. The quality of the material can be confirmed in the images.

The round stick is easy to handle and suitable for a wide range of players, from beginners to intermediate and advanced musicians. It has a good response and a strong, resonant sound. Spiccato passages are lively and enjoyable, and even détaché strokes feel stable, as if the bow is clinging to the violin.

This bow combines practicality with vintage charm. Recommended for those who are serious about improving their violin playing or looking for a second bow.

Please check the photos for condition. It has been barely used since I acquired it as a used item.
