Baroque Violin Bow with Pike's Head
Our users rate Reverb
A pre-owned violin bow after the baroque pike's head model, with an ebony frog. Offered for rehair, it is a characterful bow for players of early music.
Historical and Artistic ContextThe pike's head is the long, pointed head found on bows from the time of Corelli and Vivaldi. Bows of this shape are light at the tip and speak quickly, giving the clear, articulated sound that baroque repertoire calls for.
Craftsmanship and MaterialsThe stick is of a reddish-brown hardwood ending in an elegant pike's head. The frog is of ebony, and the button is finished with a nickel-coloured ring and an ebony ring.
ConditionGood pre-owned condition. The bow needs a rehair before playing; the hair near the tip is yellowed and the head plate is discoloured; please see the photos.
DetailsType: violin bow, baroque model with pike's head. Frog: ebony. Length approx. 71 cm and weight approx. 50 g (estimated, based on standard dimensions for baroque violin bows).
IncludedThe bow as shown. Offered for rehair; no case included.
