This month, on our online auction, we are privileged to offer this very fine bow probably made by one of the finest English makers of 20th Century. Arthur Bultitude (1908-1990) was an English musical instrument bow-maker, who was one of the best known makes that worked for W.E. Hill & Sons.His bows were known to be marked with a number 6 on the tip under the bow hair and the frog decorated with a silver Tudor Rose.
[Tudor Rose]Gold Mounted master made violin bows of this quality are seldom seen. A fine professional violinist brought us this bow for consignment. You can always help out a starving musician by bidding on this bow for him:)
The workmanship of this bow is top caliber, with lovely graduation and a elegant head. We estimate this bow to be made around 1950 and has all of the original parts.
This bow has a solid feel in the hand, producing a rich colorful tone, and is warm and resonant in sound quality. Sautille and Spiccato a breeze with this beautiful stick. It would make a great all around bow for the artist.
This bow has a beautiful octagonal pernambuco stick that has perfect camber. It is set in gold and shell, with a French eye and divided button. It has a unique faux whalebone winding. It weighs 61 grams when haired. This bow is in excellent condition, with no issues to be concerned about!
