Weight: 82.7g, Balance: 9 1/2" Maker: Manoel Francisco This bow is a strong character. The higher register is clear, vivid, and shimmery, the lower register fierce, full, and vibrant. This bow feels light yet powerful in the hand; it is very responsive whilst easy to manipulate. In more intense passages, it produces a glowing, distinct resonance. It softens beautifully to a mellow, yet focused tone in weeping, quieter passages. This bow would suit a professional soloist looking for a fervent, flexible, bold sound. Sterling Silver Special with hand-made stick and frog. Made from aged Ipe wood and crafted following English bow-making school style. Details include individualized frog styling, lizard-leather thumb-grip, abalone slide, solid silver or silver tinsel winding, and bone tip. Frog finished by the bowmaker himself.
