Dorfler Good Brazil Octagonal Violin Bow
Good brazilwood stick, octagonal, ebony frog with bottom slide and eye, three part button, metal blanc winding
An excellent trio of materials combine beautifully to make these bows and exceptional experience. Massaranduba brazilwood for the stick, genuine ebony from tropical Africa for the frog and finest mother of pearl or iris for the eyes and slides.
As Massaranduba is very heavy and hard, these bows lie particularly well in the hand of the musician. The dark black, very dense heart wood of the frog lends the play with these bows a pronounced harmonic tone.
For more than three generations, the Dörfler family has manufactured string bows of superior craftsmanship based on the style of the French bow maker Tourte. Daniel Dörfler, the founder of the company, addressed the task of bringing German bow making up to Tourte’s standard of quality.
Committed to perfection, extraordinarily high quality standards and artistic intuition, his son Egidius Dörfler has made the master workshop to what it is today. It is for this reason that the master bows carry his name. Andreas, Roland and Tanja Dörfler continue with this master tradition in the fourth generatio
DÖRFLER BOWS RADIATE THROUGH FIRST CLASS WORKMANSHIP
The Dörfler Master Bow is a hand-crafted top-quality product. Only the finest and exquisite materials are used to guarantee a long life cycle.
Pernambuco wood is used predominantly. It is the only wood which meets the high standards of flexibility and resilience required to manufacture a Dörfler Master Bow. And it is a prerequisite for the masterly art of giving the bow, through exact bending, the greatest possible tension and the ideal weight balance.
The bow hair consists exclusively of natural white horse hair from selected steppe horses of Central Asia. Hair which neither waves nor becomes rotten.
The elaborate mother-of-pearl and precious metal mountings on the non-porous ebony frog are valuable refinements which give the Dörfler Master Bow its typical appearance and a long life.
