A superb example of CN Bazin’s work, this strong, perfectly weighted bow has a bright and open sound, and an ideal blend of warmth and projection. Being right in the middle of the range for both strength and flexibility, chords are easily controlled and spiccato is perfect. Articulation with bite requires more effort, but the bow springs back to shape very quickly. Well suited to a violin set up that allows very close to the bridge playing.

I am selling this fine instrument which I purchased many years ago from a retired professional Violinist. Although it has no label inside, it is stamped on the back with "Duke, London". This handsome Violin is very old and like most aged instruments has had minor damage along the way which has been well repaired. It possesses a gorgeous, full bodied, lyrical tone & is even across the range. It is an absolute joy to play and although not a soloist instrument, would suit many other genres.
