A very fine French violin bow by Roger Gerome

A beautiful French violin bow made by Roger Gerome ca. 1950, with Raffin certificate !
Roger Gerome was one of the great French bow makers and dealers of the 20th century - he made highly refined and richly mounted professional bows, some of them are sold under the name Gerome Devoivre.

The very elegant but solid round shaped stick is strong and made of the best medium brownish pernambuco wood.

This is a very refined violin bow with an excellent balance and a great 'feel' when you hold it.
It produces a powerful and open sound as you may expect from a master bow.

The bow plays easy and fast staccato goes very well.
The frog is made from good quality ebony wood.
The beautiful button is ebony with 1-piece cap.

This bow is in good condition (no cracks), ready to play - with new hair.
Weight is ca 60 gr.- lenght : 73.1 cm (4/4 size)

This is a very beautiful master piece of a violin bow !
