Along with bow #2530 this graceful
bow was acquired by The Contrabass Shoppe directly from a UK bass
bow collector who had commissioned the pair sometime in the late
nineteen-seventies from Alvey.
Although virtually identical to that of #2530,
subtle differences to weight, length, balance and to the carving
of the head suggest that these bows were not made as a "matched"
pair. However, in common with bow #2530 this example is in "as-new"
condition only greatly enhanced in the depth of the stick colouration
due to the effects of the atmosphere over the passage of time combined
with the preserving status of a non-user collector.
Both #2531 and #2530 are bows of quality, grace and
function ability. A rare combination that's guaranteed to excite
both players and collectors alike.
