This Keith Sleeman bow is looking for its first owner! Octagonal and mounted in silver, with a length of 745.5mm and a weight of 61.4g. This is very attractive work, following clean lines in both the wood & metalwork. Beautiful and luminous pernambuco is used, and best seen in the head where it is paired with a silver faceplate.

This violin bow has a balanced reponse that draws both a deep tone from the strings, as well as crisply articulating vertical action such as spiccato/staccato. The weight is very evenly distributed with no weak spots anywhere – and in fact the top third of the stick feels reinforced with more strength than most bows!

Keith Sleeman has been making bows for more than 40 years now, having started at the age of 16 and later trained under the W.E. Hill & Sons maker Malcolm Taylor.

Keith’s bows are inspired by the classic French masters, and it’s lovely to see this carried into this bow. He now especially focuses in tonal optimisation of bows via recambering. His bows are owned by soloists such as Mischa Maisky as well as top-orchestral players in the London Philharmonic and Boston Symphony Orchestras.
