Cello Bow:

Finest and rare cello master bow by Philipp Paul Nürnberger (ca. 1915) with authenticity certificate

Price: TBN
From my private collection: exceptional bow in fine condition with superb playing characteristics ‒ immediate response, and a rounded, clear, mature sound ‒, made by Philipp Paul NÜRNBERGER (1882‒1946), Franz Albert Jr's elder son.
Its stick’s fabulous balance between stiffness and agility facilitate effortless handling, tonal brilliance and mighty sound projection ‒ on a par with French bows valued 2-3 times as much!
But don't just take my word for it; try it out for yourself.

Experts on 19th/20th century German bows (Grünke, Köstler, Wohlleber, Schröder, et al.) agree that Philipp's bows of his early period (like this one) are often superior to those of his prominent father.

Sale comprises authenticity certificate, certificate of value & US/EU/CH customs record.
Personal delivery within Europe; secure shipping beyond.
