241
The GB 241 violin bow belongs to German bow making and appears within Mittenwald’s long string-instrument tradition. Its round pernambuco stick, ebony frog, and nickel-silver fittings create a clear picture of its construction.
The Bausch school shaped its style, linking the bow to a German lineage that reaches back to the nineteenth century. A silver eye marks the frog, while the short, sturdy leg reinforces its practical character. The bow weighs about 60 grams and measures 74 centimetres, proportions associated with durability and playability. Mittenwald workshops extend this craft across violins, violas, cellos, bows, repairs, and careful adjustments.
Look closely at the materials: dense pernambuco forms the stick, ebony holds the player’s hand, and silver catches the eye.
