Stamped:

Creone Jose da Silva is a fine bow maker from Brazil. I know him personally. We also have some excellent violin and violas bows in the shop made by Creone This bass bow was made in 2025 delivered to us here at the shop two weeks after the pernambuco CITES requirements were lifted. This beautiful handmade bow is a round-section pernambuco German model bass bow. The bow is fully mounted in sterling silver with no wind, which is not necessary for a German model bow. The frog is ebony and blind eye – no pearls in the frog. The frog is stamped with his name in the upper right on the player’s side. There is a mother-of-pearl slide with some subtle color on the frog. The tip is made in casein, not ivory, and the balance point of the bow is at 28.0 cm with the bow at the gram weight of 134.4 The endscrew is an ebony adjuster. The pernambuco is high-quality older wood and is a strong player. Great stick! This is a professional quality bow, perfect for the advancing or professional player.
