------------------------------------------------------------- A rare, fine French bass bow by Nicolas Maline,ca. 1860
Item condition:Used .... US $45,000.00 ---------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Maline, Nicolas ( b. Feb 18 ,1822 d. April 28th 1877) Son of Guillaume, studied in Mirecourt, and then worked for Pajeot and Vuillaume, but often produced unbranded sticks. His bows were initially modelled on Pajeot's style, but later the hatchet type heads were modelled after Dominique Peccatte's style. The frog section are often of the Vuillaume type (round edged ferrules) and some of the earliest examples of this style, according to Millant and Raffin. Also some bows are of the self re-hairing type. Fine nickel mounted violin bow by Maline, dated 1840, around the time he came to Vuillaume - Vatelot certificate. "One of history's important bow makers. His successor was François Nicolas Voirin. Maline's bows are among the most recognizable of the finest 19th century French bows." - Filimonov Fine Musical Instruments ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The guy selling this Bow is for real. I have bought from him as well. A few years ago some other famous old French Bass bow was sold for a similar amount! .. Ken |

![]() I enjoyed looking at this bow and appreciate the surprise one might feel looking at the price. Of course this is as much a valuable antique and work of art more than it is a player's bow. I have a little eye candy to share.
A friend shared some photos he had of an original Tourte bass bow taken just before auction. http://www.smithbassforums.com/album.php?albumid=51 http://www.bromptons.co/reference-li...1820-1825.html It has obviously been kept by a collector and rarely played. It is a work of art. My understanding is it was bought by the French government and is on display in a museum. Enjoy |
