In 2008 I received a call from a player in one of the uk's leading chamber orchestrs asking to buy a Fetique I had for sale. It was tremendously damaged but I a meeting with Bernard Millant he stressed what a fine bow it was despite the damage. It was going to be for the players niece who had just passed her grade seven.
Several months later the same player phoned and offered me her James Tubbs bow, it turns out that she enjoyed the Fetique so much it stayed with her! This Fetique is very similar which is why it is here being offered.
A tremendous bow with fabulous stability it speaks directly through the fingers up your arms you play with both strength and flexibility. It produce a luminous sound probably down to the exquisite pernambuco. The handle is a little worn and there is a clavette repair to the head though this is utterly secure and of no concern. With small silver lapping it weighs 58g but this could be brought to 60g if need be.
