Vuillaume. Influenced by D. Peccatte, he made very fine bows that are sometimes mistaken for the works of his contemporaries, such as F. Bazin, C. Husson, and P. Knopp. While being affordable, the quality was good, and the workshop flourished, producing many bows under his own brand. Reference price at specialty stores: ¥1,000,000 and up This is an old French bow by the renowned maker, Prosper Colas. This bow is highly recommended for those who use old and modern instruments but are having difficulty bringing out the full potential of their instrument's sound and tone. It was lent to a performer but has been returned, so it has been maintained and will be put up for sale for a while. We will be selling some of the instruments and bows we owned for a project to support young performers. In addition to being guaranteed in value with a certificate of authenticity, this is a practical bow that prioritizes performance, so we also recommend it to performers.
