Francois Nicolas Voirin circa 1870
As a young player I hugely enjoyed playing on a Voirin, there was a clarity in the sound plus an extraordinary speed of articulation, he is a tremendously gifted maker. Here is a bow just to look at in wonder, already sold to a collector all the same once out of restoration some fine photos shall emerge early next year. SOLD
An extremely rare bow by this gifted maker at his apogee.
The stamp and handle area are in beautiful condition, as are the octagonal facets, his octagonal bows are stunning in execution and a joy to behold.
