I bought this bow in 2015 from Lisa Gass in LA and used it extensively throughout college, but am now selling it to help fund the purchase of a new bow. Lisa did not know who the maker was, so the age and origin remains unknown. It was rehaired and had a new plastic tip installed by Brianna Goldberg in Pasadena, CA this January. The hair only has about a month or so worth of playing time in though and feels like it has a lot more life left. This is a great bow for orchestral playing and would be ideal for a serious high school/college student, a professional in need of a backup bow, or someone looking to dip their fingers into playing German bow. It weighs 141.8 grams and admittedly is a bit tip heavy. Comes with a case likely from Lemur Music.
