Peter Hembrough bows

Francois N. Voirin c. 1875

Here is a delightful, and tremendously rare photograph of Voirin around the time he made this superb Vuillaume style bow. It is a sensational bow and uniquely  fine to play on.

François Nicolas Voirin

It is both versatile and comforting to the player, constantly giving the player information about its collaboration with the string.   It is one of the truly great bows by this craftsman.

The blonde Tortoiseshell frog is from the Vuillaume workshop and original to the stick, the same is so for the button.
