Exquisitely balanced, sweet at the top and ample below, 60 grams
Étienne Pajeot, based in Mirecourt, is regarded as one of the finest bow makers of his generation. He often innovated, developing models for self-rehairing bows as well as systems to reinforce certain parts of the bow such as the underslide and the inside of the mortise. He was very successful and always made sure to use the highest quality materials.
The bow is a joy to play. It is exquisitely balanced and effortlessly produces a beautiful sound. At the top of the register it will bring out the clarity and sweetness while maintaining power and projection, and on the lower and middle strings the sound is ample and resonant.
Pajeot's bows are appreciated by musicians and collectors alike. This example is in good condition.
