For Yukki-sama only: Seifelt Violin Bow

This is a violin bow from the long-established German workshop, Seifert.
(Stamp of Germany on the back of the frog)

The grade is unknown, but it is made of very high-quality wood and is an excellent bow in both performance and tone.
The weight is 61.1g, but it feels like it's under 60g when held (it's a subtle difference, but bows that combine good playability with the advantages of weight are rare).
The balance point setting, camber design, and wood selection all show the skill of a master.

This bow was originally included with an old French violin I purchased and is from an earlier period than the current lineup.
However, considering its age, the varnish still retains its luster, and the significant camber is still intact. (For clarity, I have not edited the photos in any way. The varnish has a thick yet soft texture that allows the wood's grain to show through.)
If I had to find fault, it would be the wear on the lapping leather and the tarnish on the silver parts. (The leather is still usable, and the metal parts will be like new with a polish.)

This is undoubtedly a bow that would be indistinguishable from a master craftsman's work even if it were stamped as such, but I don't think it would sell at a price reflecting its design, performance, and wood quality, hence this price setting. There is no need to rehair it, and I can confidently recommend this bow as a lucky find for whoever purchases it.
