Here are some delightful details from a relatively early Francois Nicholas Voirin that was sold the moment I mentioned it on the website. This quick response I totally understand as from a playing point of view these Vuillaume period Voirin bows are just ideal for players working in chamber ensembles. Indeed, the bow is travelling to Sweden to be with its new owner, a recitalist and chamber musician.

It is very difficult to find these particular bows and simply because they are often a favourite bow, players tend to keep them for several decades. Note in the stamp the way the word Vuillaume bends slightly, always a relief to see this detail.

Keep watching Peter Hembrough bows, there are some very exciting new bows on their way over the next few months!
