Here is a delightful bow from this great makers early twenties as he forged ahead to make his name. Complete with a fabulous certificate from the late great Bernard Millant dated 30th April 1927.
Stamped faintly Amati Mangenot, this was a highly regarded dealer and maker’s shop based in Bordeaux at this time. Rare these days to the market, it is great to be able to offer this exquisite bow. The condition is very fine with the exception of a clavette repair to the head, beautifully done it is very hard to see and is utterly secure.
It is well known David Oistrakh used predominately a Richaume bow from 1958 and on a later visit to Paris made time to go and visit this great maker to personally thank him. During this period in Paris there was a golden period of making with Eugene Sartory, Jules Fetique, Victor Fetique and a little later Emile Auguste Ouchard carrying making forwards.
Perhaps the two greatest attributes to a Richaume bow are its lovely feel in the hand, their ease of use coupled to a rich fine but at the same time delicate sound, really a joy to the ear.
Richaume served his apprenticeship with Emile Ouchard senior on Mirecourt at the same time as the great Emile Auguste Ouchard, can you imagine the excitement as these makers pushed making into a new era, lead by the great Eugene Sartory.

Over the years I have been fortunate to use bows by all three makers, they are indeed sensational, but for me Pierre Simon has something very special, a spark of individuality in how his bows articulate. He is also the toughest to find, really fine bows by him are becoming extremely difficult to find.
