Il Monrealese
This model is my early baroque “favorite”, born of the desire to recreate the bow from a painting in a fun and convincing way.
“Il Monrealese” – actually Pietro Novelli (1603-1647) – painted this depiction of the musical competition between Apollo and Marsyas.
The proportions of this bow have been determined directly from the bow in the painting. The choice of material (blackened larch or yew wood for the stick, mammoth bone for the caps and rosewood for the frog) is based on real-life precedents, although the painting, of course, gives no information about the materials.
I also make a version without the dark varnishing, for which I only use domestic materials and omit the bone and tropical wood.
In the last several years, this model has proven highly successful and is used by professional musicians in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, among others.
