Francois Nicolas Voirin circa 1870

  A recent arrival from Montreal, here is a beautiful Vuillaume style Voirin.   Always a delight to play on this bow is in exquisite condition.  There is one very slight bit of damage to the audience side of the head when a poor rehair has pushed the mortice open causing a small section of the lower cheek of the side to drift away.  This section was reglued and is of no concern.   Otherwise, this lovely bow is in very fine condition.  A delight in the hand when playing this is ideal for a recitalist or someone working in chamber orchestras.  Increasingly rare to the market place this maker is becoming quite difficult to source, here is a bold and stunning example.
