ARCHET Violin Bow

From Archet, a popular brand also favored by Fumiaki Miura.

SA Trad-SL (Premium Grade)
Engraving: ARCHET à TOKIO

*For your information, the engravings on the 1005 and 1006 models are
ARCHET A TOKIO,
which differentiates them from the premium grade.

・Features a cow bone tip with beautiful striping and whale baleen winding. (It seems the current lineup is unified with silk winding, perhaps due to difficulty in sourcing.)
・No rehairing is necessary.
・There is some sign of use on the leather wrap, but the stick, frog, head, etc., are in excellent condition.

Overall, this can truly be described as a superb item.

Following the Trad-G, this is Archet's high-end model. From material selection, craftsmanship, playability, tone, to aesthetic design, it is, without a doubt, a first-class bow.
Perhaps because those who own them are reluctant to part with them, it rarely appears on the used market, whether online or in physical stores. (When it does appear, the price is often only slightly discounted from the new price.)

For professionals, it can serve as a sub-bow (or of course, a main bow), and for amateurs, it would be a lifelong companion.

We appreciate your consideration.
