SOLD Steffen Kuhnla master bow

Very solid/focused orchestra stick. Pernambuco with sterling silver fittings. Very comfortable in the hand with good balance, deep camber. In excellent condition, no issues. Rehaired with salt n pepper about 6 months ago by Greg Wylie here in NYC.

Specs: (if I'm not doing these measurements correctly, please let me know, thanks):

hair (playing) length: 22.5" (from beg. of ivory on tip to ferrule)
total bow length: 30.75" (measured straight across from end of adjuster to end of tip w/stiff ruler)
stick/wood length: 28" (measured straight across from end of tip to silver ring w/stiff ruler)
balance point: 8.25" (measured straight across from the silver ring)
weight: 133.2 grams

note: for those who care, the varnish is actually a darker hue than is shown in the pics -- more like reddish brown.

Asking $1100 shipped CONUS.

This has been a great bow for the money when I bought new about 3 years ago ($1785 from SE). I'm selling at this attractive price (Kuhnla's "shop" bow price) for no other reason than I need the money at this time, and also my playing requirements are such that I do not need 2 excellent bows.
