Highly regarded as the foremost maker of the late 19th century, F.N. Voirin’s work is praised for its aesthetics and quality of workmanship. Often his bows can be rather light by modern standards, however this is not true for this stunning example. It boasts a particularly strong piece of pernambuco of superb quality with great balance.

The tone is focused and precise with a luminous range of overtones. A true player’s bow in a fantastic state of preservation, which is offered for the first time in decades after having been part of an important English collection.
