Lucky indeed is the violinist who plays on a bow by Vigneron pere!  He was a quick worker making on average six bows a week. That being said many of his bows are somewhat lacking, he viewed the bow as a tool for the artist.

However, once in a while, using his very best deep red brown pernambuco he would make a top class exquisite bow. This bow is one of his rare bows engraved on the ferrule for its first owner Edith C. Homer.

He used the same person to engrave his best bows and several can be seen in the Millant L’Archet Volume Two.  Condition wise this bow has a very small repair to the upper stick all but invisible and totally secure. It is one of the most striking and beautiful bows currently available by this great make.

The stick is strong but flexible and the bow weighs 61g. The bow has a certificate from the renowned french bow expert Jean-François Raffin
