Er machte sich 1903 im vogtländischen Erlbach selbstständig, nachdem er zehn Jahre lang für den berühmten H.R. Pfretzschner in Markneukirchen gearbeitet hatte. Bei einem Gewicht von 80,7gr und einer Länge von 72,2cm liegt sein Schwerpunkt in der unteren Hälfte bei gemessenen 24cm. Die oktogonale Stange, die mit ihrer besonderen Elastizität ein durchaus fließendes Spiel ermöglicht, ist aus leuchtendem gelbbraunen Fernambukholz mit Elfenbeinkopfplatte auf Ebenholzunterlage gefertigt, der silberne Frosch aus Mauritius Ebenholz mit Perlmutt Schildeinlage, ohne Brandstempel. Dieser feine Cellobogen von Emil Max Penzel erzeugt einen edlen, warmen und doch kräftigen Klang. Versand ist nur in der EU möglich. Es handelt sich um einen Privatverkauf.
