C.L. Bazin, c. 1935

Made in the “Tourte” model and nickel-mounted, this fine French bow is accompanied by a certificate from J.F. Raffin. Weight: 59.5g

This example is particularly notable for its elegant swan head, a model distinguished by its more elongated and graceful head profile. Such bows are often appreciated not only for their aesthetic character but also for their refined flexibility and nuanced response.

The stick is well-balanced with a lighter feel in the hand, offering agility and ease of articulation. Despite this light feel, it draws a full, resonant sound with clarity and warmth, making it both expressive and versatile across a wide range of repertoire.

A characterful and musically rewarding bow, representative of the enduring craftsmanship of the Bazin school.
