While there is no certificate of authenticity, I purchased this bow believing it to be a JTL from an overseas dealer.
Even if it turns out not to be, I believe it is a bow of equivalent or greater value.
I acquired it about 20 years ago (I believe) from overseas.
I have used it occasionally since purchasing it.
I can no longer play, so for the past year or two, I've only been polishing it occasionally.
The stick is made of a very beautiful orange pernambuco wood, which is luxurious and captivating even for display.
The frog is a Vieuillaume style and is beautifully crafted.
As it is a work from about 100 years ago, it is not a perfect item without scratches like a new one, but it is quite beautiful.
There are no strange warps to the left or right.
And for the distinctive head, it might be interesting to compare it with images of JTL bows commonly seen on the web.
I cannot accurately describe its playability, but it grips the strings much more smoothly than an inferior bow.
I am parting with some of the violin bows I collected out of fondness, but this is not a bow to be sold off cheaply, so you should be satisfied with owning it. I believe you can also own it as an asset after purchase.
It will be shipped with measures to prevent damage, placed in a PVC pipe or similar.
Please make payment within one week.
I also promise to ship within one week after payment is completed.
I will be listing other bows sequentially, so I appreciate your understanding.
Returns are not accepted to prevent fraudulent exchanges.
