Egidius Dorfler ** Pernambuco Violin Bow

Dorfler bows are hand crafted in Germany, using precious and exquisite materials in order to guarantee master performance and technical ability. Pernambuco wood is used predominantly in their workshops, as it constantly fulfils the demands of exact bending and greatest possible tension at the ideal weight. Simply for Strings' team of professional players and teachers hand-select each bow to exacting criteria, including examining the hair, camber of the bow and the bow's ability and sound across different techniques. Simply for Strings is an authorised stockist of Dorfler Bows, proudly offering an extensive selection for violin, viola, cello and double bass players.

This bow is well-balanced and yields an open sound. It sits well in the string from the frog to the tip and facilitates smooth changes, particularly at the nut. Sautillé and spiccato bow strokes tend toward a 'clickier' articulation, and feel immediate and responsive. This is a versatile bow that can accommodate the demands of tertiary-level repertoire and beyond.

At Simply for Strings, each bow is hand-selected to exacting criteria, including examining the hair, camber of the bow and the bow's ability and sound across different techniques.

Please note, each bow is unique and handcrafted – your new bow may look slightly different to the photograph used.
