A beautiful new Gold mounted violin bow by Francisco Gonzalez, stamped “Gonzalez . Madrid” on the near side facet of the handle and “F. Gonzalez CR” on the lower facet under the frog. The bow, made in Francisco’s personal style, comprises a particularly fine pernambuco stick with gold mounted ebony frog which is decorated with pearl eyes; the lapping of silver and gold wound on silk; the three piece adjuster of gold/ebony/gold; the faceplate of mammoth ivory.

Francisco Gonzalez is a highly regarded bow maker and restorer based in Madrid, Spain where he also acts as curator of the fabulous Stradivari quartet of instruments held at the museum of the Royal Palace. Francisco is also the Spanish delegate to the committee of the Entente Internationale des Luthiers et Archetiers (EILA).

This fantastic bow would be suited to the advanced or advancing student and would also be ideal for a professional player.
