Description

Unstamped Pernambuco German Double Bass Bow

This is a vintage bow that is surprising fast and articulate considering it’s length.   It is nicely balanced and the smaller, more compact frog fits well in the hand and would give the player the option of occasionally switching to a French grip on a German frog.  It drives like a Ferrari station wagon.
