Finest and rare cello master bow by Philipp Paul Nürnberger (ca. 1915) with authenticity certificate
Price: CHF 9.900.‒
9/1 update: tryout opportunities: currently Berlin; 9/27‒28 «Cremona Musica»; afterwards: CH
7/30 update: sale at cost ‒ inclusive of certificates, customs papers US/EU/CH, service receipts, amounting to € 2.200.
Superb, perfectly balanced, versatile master bow in a fine state of preservation by Philipp Paul NÜRNBERGER (1882‒1946), Franz Albert Junior's elder son.
Its octagonal stick’s strength & flexibility facilitate effortless, virtuoso handling, tonal brilliance and mighty sound projection ‒ on a par with French bows valued 2-3 times as much!
Renowned experts on 19th/20th century German bows (Klaus Grünke, Hieronymus Köstler, Mathias Wohlleber, Benjamin Schröder, et al.) agree that, in terms of craftsmanship, Philipp's bows ‒ esp. of his early period, of which this is a choice example ‒ are often superior to those of his better-known father.
