For demanding musicians of a superior level. Top of the range pernambuco stick, stored, dried and aged impeccably for 30 years. Excellent elastomechanic qualities.  Fine details such as the fine, fully-lined ebony frog with a three-piece button with eight inlaid eyes make this bow a real jewel!  For the musician, a bow is as important as the instrument that they want to bring to life. The sound quality of a stringed instrument can only be achieved when both components fully harmonise.  Only selected pernambuco sticks are used for Dörfler Master Bows, which are crafted and manufactured with a master’s expertise. They are decorated with beautiful engravings and unique inlays, making every bow truly one of a kind!

The Dorfler workshop is best known for its high quality of standards, artistic intuition and perfection. This reputation was made from the work of Egidius Dörfler and for this reason the master bows are named after him. The bows carry such quality of sound, purity, strength and polish of tone.
