Vintage Richard Geipel Violin Bow Germany
Eight Sided Shaft Circa 1950
Item Description
Check out this nice vintage Richard Geipel violin bow.  Would make a great gift for a special occasion or keep for yourself!
We acquired a number of violin bows from the sale of the inventory of a closed luthier shop.  There were about 125 bows in that case.  Every time we pick a few more out to offer you, there ends up being another nice gem in there.  We will be offering these violin and cello bows to our clients over the next few months.
This violin bow is being offered to you at a price below what you would see in a fine luthier shop or auction house.   We can do that by being a dealer in musical instruments for over 40 years, better controlling our acquisition costs, keeping commission costs low (if applicable), and finally, we don't have the overhead that fine luthier shops and auction houses have
.
We typically have about 3-4 dozen different violin bows from many makers and of varying value for sale at any time.  So check out our online store to see the other bows.
The violin bow is made of pernambuco wood.   The bow was made around circa 1950 in the Markneukirchen German area.
The bow has an eight sided shaft which this maker was known for.  Very little loss of the finish along the shaft.  Nice looking frog on it.  The bow has no cracks, splits or repairs to the wood that I can see to report to you.  Says "Richard Geipel" on the shaft above the frog.   Says, "Germany" below frog and to right of it.  The bow still has a great finish on it.  Good camber.  Strong flex to the shaft and I can ascertain no warping, splits or repairs to report to you.  Nice black and white colored winding on the bow, that is securely fixed on both sides.
The bow has the full name, "Richard Geipel" embossed on it.
Nice mother of pearl inlays on the sides of the frog and along the bottom.    Silver and ebony end screw with what appears to be a piece of mother of pearl on the end which is unique.  The bow is 27-3/16" long.  The bow weighs 2.2 ounces with the horse hair that remains.  The violin bow will need to be rehaired.  Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures.
Make sure that this violin bow meets your needs and requirements before deciding to acquire it.   The item can be returned, there is a 10% restocking fee to do so.
So again, ask all questions you have, come see in person or send a friend to see the clock on your behalf, prior to deciding to acquire it.
