German unstamped, 'Vuillaume' style, silver-mounted violin bow

This “Vuillaume" style, silver-mounted violin bow, with its frog set slightly into the stick for stability, has a very attractive playing style, despite its lack of pedigree. The round, pernambuco stick feels light in the hand but draws a clear, warm sound, with good articulation and spiccato. While versatile, it would particularly suit Classical and Baroque repertoire.
