A baroque painting by Franceschini served as the template for this short clip-in bow. In the painting, the “French” bow hold (with the thumb on the hair) is also clearly depicted.
The stick can be made of larch or yew; the frog is made of plum or pear wood.
This model is delivered either with two frogs or a toothed ratchet mechanism for adjusting the hair tension while maintaining a consistent playing height (i.e. distance between hair and stick at the frog).
