Octagonally shaped, premium pernambuco with a fully silver-mounted ebony frog. ■ weight: 76.7 grams ■ centre of mass: 8.98 inches ■ overall length: 720 mm Edwin Lothar HERRMANN (1914‒1987) hailed from a storied dynasty of achetiers spanning over 200 years. At the height of his craft, his bows sold for as much as those of his now better-known French colleagues. HERRMANN learned his craft from his grandfather Franz Albert (1868‒1960) & his father Edwin Otto. After completing his apprenticeship, he continued to work with his father until 1950, when he opened his first workshop. In 1961 he moved to Markneukirchen, carrying on making highly sought-after bows. Bow available for tryout free of charge. Personal delivery/collection (preferred) or shipping in secure crate.

Its round stick’s elasticity, yet adequate firmness, produce versatile playing characteristics and effortless sound projection ‒ on a par with far more expensive French bows. ■ weight: 79.6 grams ■ centre of mass: 8.94 inches ■ total length: 712 mm ■ length of stick: 696 mm Friedrich was a student of W. A. PFRETZSCHNER, and he worked with Franz A. NÜRNBERGER II in Markneukirchen for many years (cf. photo of MEINEL in the Nürnberger workshop; photo courtesy of Christian A. Nürnberger). From 1918, he successfully ran his own workshop. MEINEL’s bows are artistically made; the NÜRNBERGER influence is recognisable in the shape of his frogs & heads.
