A Stunning Gold Mounted Cello Bow By Albert Nurnberger.
A fine and highly representative specimen of the desirable German maker, Franz Albert Nurnberger II featuring exhibition quality pernambuco that demonstrates both striping and tight, pronounced flame; gold mounted, with matching three-piece adjuster - the end-cap, solid, without a pearl eye. Gold lapping brings the final balanced weight to a desirable 82.6 grams. This Voirin model cello bow is immediately pleasing in the hand, with superb tracking, effortless response through the gamut of articulations, and a vibrant, focused core to the sound - crisp but modular and rich in overtones. Simply, stellar work from a maker whose creations can consistently be characterized as elegant, refined, and always highly consistent in both quality and performance attributes. Crafted in the 20’s, during which Franz Albert II’s son, C.A. Nurnberger (1885-1971) worked closely with him and rose to prominence among the ranks of German artisans, securing the family legacy for generations to come.
