Christian Wilhelm Knopf (b. 1815, d. 1897) was the youngest son of Christian Wilhelm Sr., patriarch of the Knopf family. Based in Markneukirchen, Germany, this skilled family of luthiers and bow makers spans over five generations beginning in 1767. Christian Wilhelm had many pupils and imitators!
The violist will be immediately drawn to this bow visually. The stick is octagonal with the facets of the stick along the handle graced with inlaid mother of pearl striping. The frog itself is adorned with opalescent floral inlays and the screw is tastefully ornamented.
The Knopf bow is of superior quality and has the remarkable balance, violists crave. Upon drawing the bow across the strings, the bow feels confident and trustworthy. You will encounter thundering fortes and elegant pianissimos as prescribed by the music. The Knopf plays with finesse releasing superb sound and radiant overtones from the viola. You will be exhilarated with the connection the bow makes with the strings for any bowing articulation imaginable. The Knopf bow is a dream realized for the professional, soloist, or demanding collector. Come celebrate the viola with this bow.
