Steffen Kuhnla Pernambuco Viola Bow

Introduction

We’re excited to introduce these master-made bows from Steffan Kuhnla of Bad Bambrach, Germany. Having apprenticed with R. Messing, C.O. Durrschmidt and R.H. Leicht in the 1980s, Kuhnla became a master bowmaker in 1988 and has crafted outstanding bows for thousands of musicians since that time. The choice selection of pernambuco and Kuhnla’s exacting craftsmanship produces bows that play effortlessly, speak with clarity, and reveal the full range of the instruments tone. This pernambuco stick is moderate-firm. The balance point lies close to center-frog.

Round pernambuco stick. Ebony frog with silver mountings.

Due to these being made by a master bowmaker, some variation in color and lapping may occur.
