New to the collection is this beautiful Voirin in fine condition but for a small clavette repair to the head, and, characteristically for this very popular maker a bit of wear to the handle. By this time Voirin had set up his own workshop at 3 Rue-de-Bouloi in Paris and was at the zenith of his making abilities.
From a playing point of view it is difficult to beat a fine Voirin for agility, amongst other fine attributes. A must for any chamber orchestra player they are a superb creation totally different to the hatchet shaped Peccatte model, a much more delicate but strong concept. From a construction point of view the way Voirin works the stick is of the highest calibre, a great maker with a unique feeling in the hand for the violinist. As a young player in one of the better chamber orchestras in London I relied heavily on a Voirin very similar to this one. More complex moments that repertoire are eased a great deal when using a bow of this type.
