Mint condition. Its stick’s flexibility and strength, its weight (79.6 g.), center of mass (8.94") and its length (71.5 cm) produce persuasive playing characteristics, mighty sound projection and brilliance ‒ equal to considerably more expensive French bows. Genuine potential buyers can borrow the bow FOC. Friedrich "Fritz" MEINEL (1885-1962) was a student of W. A. PFRETZSCHNER, and he worked for many years with Franz A. NÜRNBERGER II in Markneukirchen (cf. photo of MEINEL in the Nürnberger workshop; courtesy of Christian A. Nürnberger). From 1918 on, he successfully ran his own workshop in Markneukirchen. MEINEL’s bows are artistically made; the NÜRNBERGER influence can be seen in the frog and the head of his bows.

Edwin Lothar HERRMANN (1914-1987) hailed from a storied dynasty of achetiers spanning over 200 yrs. At the height of his craft, his bows sold for as much as those of his now better-known French colleagues. HERRMANN learned his craft from his grandfather Franz Albert (1868-1960) and his father Edwin Otto (1893-1972). After completing his apprenticeship, he continued to work in his father’s workshop until 1950. In 1949 he passed his master’s exam in Markneukirchen. In 1950 he opened his first workshop. In 1961 he moved to Markneukirchen, carrying on making highly sought-after bows.Thu, 28 Aug 2025 13:23:53 +0100https://www.musicalchairs.info/sales/19367https://www.musicalchairs.info/sales/19367A typical JSO season includes five classics concerts, one educational concert, several pops concerts, a Nutcracker series with Ballet Chelsea, and many additional opportunities for performance and community engagement.
