W. Seifert #129 Pernambuco Violin Bow with Round Stick 4/4

Founded by Oskar Seifert in 1932, the Seifert workshop is located in Bubenreuth, Germany. Oskar Seifert, who mastered the craft of bowmaking under the guidance of Albert Renz in Erlbach, laid the foundation for a tradition of excellence. The workshop offers a wide range of bows, from student bows to professional level bows crafted by their master bowmakers. Each year, the Seifert workshop produces a limited number of bows, all made entirely by hand. The wood used has been naturally dried in their workshop for over 20 years. Simply for Strings is an authorised stockist of Seifert bows.

This model from Seifert bows is comfortable to use in all parts of the bow and offers a rich and complex sound for this price point. With its beautiful pernambuco and octagonal stick, this bow has the flexibility to ‘sink’ into the string, allowing the player to draw out the sound with ease. Bouncing bow strokes can all be executed consistently, and feel most comfortable when played slightly closer to the frog. This is a stable, quality bow suitable for advancing players seeking a rich sound.

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.
