Charles-Louis Bazin, c. 1930

Signed “Tourte” and nickel-mounted, this fine French bow is accompanied by a certificate from J.F. Raffin. Weight: 58.6g

Crafted circa 1930, it exemplifies the elegance and reliability of the Bazin workshop tradition. The stick is medium-firm, well-balanced, and highly responsive, offering a ringing quality with a slightly frog-heavy feel that provides stability in the hand.

Tonally, the bow produces a clear and focused sound, enriched by a deep, dark core, making it suitable for both soloistic projection and orchestral depth.

A fine example of the enduring craftsmanship of the Bazin family, this bow is a dependable and musically versatile choice for the discerning violinist.
