This Albert Nürnberger viola bow is part of a rich, storied heritage of German bow-making. Originating from the Nürnberger family workshop in Markneukirchen, Germany.

The Nürnbergers produced a wealth of stellar bows—first following a German viola bow model and later adopting a Tourte-inspired design under the leadership of Franz Albert Nürnberger (1854–1931). The family workshop was later passed to Carl Albert Nürnberger (1885–1971) in the 1920s. Together with his brother Phillipp Paul, Carl refined the Tourte model bow and created the new Nürnberger Viola Bow signature style–now sought after by musicians around the world.
