Premium materials
Inspired by the highly respected archetier of the 19th century French tradition, Dominique Peccatte, this bow is made from the quality materials you'd expect. Pecatte bows were sturdier than French bows of the era, allowing the violinist to experiment with greater volume and strong articulation, ideal for playing in large concert halls. For this bow, J. Thibouville-Lamy has opted for high-quality pernambuco for a rich sound. Even after advancements in technology and the introduction of carbon bows, many professional string players feel that the warm, pure tone that a classic pernambuco bow gives you is impossible to match. It's the best type of wood for bows because of how dense it is, meaning it can be cut thinly and be carefully crafted into a well-balanced bow while still maintaining its strength, and therefore its durability.
With 925 solid silver hardware, the J. Thibouville-Lamy JTL Violin Bow looks exquisite, and such a premium material will stay in excellent condition, which is especially important for the winding, as this will have more contact with your hand. Similarly, the leather grip is comfortable and durable. J. Thibouville-Lamy has opted for the highest quality natural horse hair to help you create the finest tone.
All in the details...
The delicate finishing touches define the J. Thibouville-Lamy JTL Violin Bow. Most noticeable is the sleek ebony frog. Firstly, ebony is the ideal surface for contact with your thumb because it's so strong and doesn't require any varnish thanks to its natural oils, so you'll have a stable grip and control over your bow at all times. The frog looks great too, especially as it has been mounted with sterling silver for a stunning, complementary overall design. The gorgeous Parisian, mother of pearl eye surrounded by a silver ring gives a traditional, professional look to match this bow's premium quality materials.
