FS: Gary Clark French bow

sybarite · #1 06-12-2008, 08:37 PM

Mint Condition

Very quick to articulate bow, excellent for orchestral playing. On the heavy side, big tip.

Clark bows are hard to find now that he's not making them anymore. . Same maker of the bow that Kristen Bruya used to win Nashville and advance to the finals in Cleveland and the Met. Sexytime!

$1700 its a steal!

Plays better than most bows over $2000!

I can email pics.

If no one buys it, its going to Robertsons and they'll probably want more$$

The 1 and 7 keys are quite close to each other.

I can vouch for this bow, it's a good stick. I tried it out a couple of months ago and nearly bought it. It really is a good deal, even at $1700.

Why didn't I buy it? Well, if you've been following at all, I'm looking for not just a GREAT bow, but a bow that makes me drool in anticipation of picking it up to make music with. (I'm still searching, even after playing a $25k Sartory and a $7k "Tourte.")

Someone give this bow a loving (preferably orchestral or other extremely frequent-use) home!

After a few people tried it out I realized it was worth quite a bit more. Someone could have picked it up for a real steal back then. I guess you snooze, you lose.

As Trevor said its still a great deal. I just had Brian Robertson (of Robertson's Violins) look at it and he was very impressed. I'm sure it could be appraised for over $2000.

Once again its a real "players" bow. Heavy tip, quick to articulate, clear sound. Its very hard to find a bow at this price that is this good. If I didn't need the money, I would definitely not be selling it.

How much does the bow weigh?

sybarite · #8 06-16-2008, 10:23 AM

Good question! I will get it weighed this week and let you know. Its definitely over 140grams. If I had to guess I would say 149. But I'll know for sure soon.
