Exceptional -- Very German in its precision of workmanship, balance, and the sound it produces--crisp, precise, every note clear.
The bow arrived yesterday. It's a lovely piece of work, very German in its precision of workmanship, balance, and the sound it produces--crisp, precise, every note clear. Thanks for alerting me to this and for facilitating its purchase.
After playing it for an hour, my guess that it is a heavy bow proved correct. The weight is 62.6 g, which after weighing it, I discovered was on the sticker attached to the frog. No wonder it draws so much sound out of the violin.
A Douglas Raguse bow I tried was light and lively, fun to play, but it did not produce the round tones I wanted, especially on the lower strings.
