Unstamped - 小提琴弓 (没有保留价)

Instrument overview:

Kind of Wood and Wood Quality:

The bow appears to be made of pernambuco wood, which is commonly used for high-quality bows due to its strength, elasticity, and resonance. The wood quality seems good, with a smooth finish and a uniform grain pattern, indicative of well-selected and aged pernambuco.

Frog and Button:
The frog is made of ebony, a dense and durable wood often used in bow making. It features a mother-of-pearl inlay which adds to its aesthetic appeal.

The button at the end of the bow is three-part, consisting of ebony and metal, likely nickel silver. The button is well-crafted, with clear, sharp lines and an even finish.

Grip:
The grip is made of leather, with the winding appearing to be made of metal (silver or nickel). The leather wrapping looks intact and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and secure hold.

Hair:
The bow hair is horsehair, the standard material for violin bows. It appears to be in good condition, though slightly discolored, which is normal with use. The hair is evenly distributed and properly tensioned.

Tip:
The tip of the bow is also made of pernambuco. It is well-shaped, with a precise and clean finish. The tip plate, which protects the tip from damage, appears to be made of ivory or a synthetic substitute, common in older bows.

Interesting Features:
The frog has a distinctive pearl eye, adding a touch of elegance.

Stamp:
There is no visible stamp on the bow in the provided images. Often, high-quality bows are stamped with the maker’s name or brand, but this one either lacks such a stamp or it is not visible.

Damage:
There is no obvious damage visible. The bow appears to be well-maintained, with no visible cracks or warping in the wood.
