Maker: Cuniot-Hury
Description: Mirecourt bow maker Eugène Cuniot, known as “Cuniot-Hury,” trained and worked with his father until his father’s death in 1884, when Cuniot-Hury took over the firm. Mirecourt was in the midst of tremendous growth as a center of the violin trade, and in particular the influence of Charles Nicolas Bazin held sway in bow making circles. Cuniot-Hury adopted a Bazin-style frog and button while retaining the more powerful head of his previous model. This particular bow is currently in excellent condition and a fine example of French craftsmanship. The bow draws a very clear and smooth tone and has a more flexible feel to the stick. Weight 60.0 grams.
