This item was purchased as a new, unused item in 2023. It is a bow made of pernambuco wood, which is becoming increasingly rare. I am selling it because I rarely use it, which feels wasteful. It was maintained (checked) at a workshop in the summer of 2024, and there were no issues. However, the hair has thinned somewhat, so I recommend rehairing. I think it's in good condition, but there may be some dirt (rosin, etc.) and minor scratches. Please refer to the photos and purchase only if you are satisfied. I plan to ship it in an unwanted violin case. (Please dispose of it after arrival if you don't need it.) Excellent condition Luan Ruy violin bow 4/4 stamped Country of manufacture: Brazil Stamp: LUAN RUY Material: Pernambuco wood Weight: Approximately 62g Total length: Approximately 74.3cm LUAN RUY... He started making bows in 2005. Although he is still a young maker, his talent and technical skill are already unparalleled. With his perfectionist craftsmanship and beautiful work, he makes some of the highest quality bows among Brazilian bow makers, and his strict eye for quality is reflected in his attitude of producing high-quality bows. This Brazilian bow is attracting attention for its high cost performance, which is sufficient for advanced players. Among them, the works of Mr. Luan Ruy are among the best young bow makers and are highly regarded by loyal fans. The sound has a solid core and is well-defined, making it a bow that feels like it projects well.
