Manoel Francisco Silver Plus Violin bow

We are pleased to offer this exceptional violin bow by renowned Brazilian bow maker Manoel Francisco. Recognized for his attention to craftsmanship and performance, Francisco’s bows are trusted by advancing students, professional musicians, and discerning players seeking exceptional value and reliability.

Crafted from carefully selected Ipe wood, this Silver Plus model reflects the growing evolution of modern bow making. As pernambuco becomes increasingly difficult to source and export, many respected makers have turned to alternative Brazilian tonewoods that offer outstanding playing characteristics while maintaining long-term sustainability.

Weighing 62.5 grams, this bow provides a powerful and confident feel in the hand. It delivers excellent string grip, stability, and projection while remaining responsive enough for nuanced musical expression. Players will appreciate its ability to produce a focused, resonant sound with strong articulation and dynamic control.

The bow features elegant silver mounted fittings, an ebony frog with abalone eye, and the refined workmanship that has made Manoel Francisco one of Brazil’s most respected contemporary bow makers.
