*SOLD* Kolstein german bow *PRICE DROP*

[crowsmengegus]

German bow stamped "S. Kolstein and Son N.Y.". Pulls a big and very clear sound. Approximately 130 grams. $1900 $1600 $1450 shipped.

A trial can be arranged, for the interested bow shopper.

This bow handles very well, stays in the string, and has (at least on my bass) what I'd describe as a very clear and projecting sound, but not too bright or brittle sounding at all. A very nice example of a Kolstein!

Hi, can't quite tell from your photo, but does your bow have silver or nickel mounting?
Cheers!

[crowsmengegus]

I think it's a silver mounting since the ferrule is not very shiny and has a heavy patina. Maybe there is a more expert eye out there that can tell from the picture?

Price drop: $1600.

Still available. Great bow. I'd keep it, but I play french exclusively these days....

Do you know what year it was made?

I called and talked to Barrie Kolstein a while back to try to answer that question. If I remember correctly (it was a while ago), he said 1970's, based on my description of the bow and the stamp.

Bump for another price drop. $1450 shipped!

[crowsmengegus]

Out on trial.

[crowsmengegus]

Coming back from trial, wasn't right for the buyer. Might be right for you though!
