Out of Stock

-- SOLD! --

Joseph Alfred Lamy (Lamy père) was born in Mirecourt in 1850 and began his apprenticeship with Claude Husson in 1862. In 1868 he began working for Gautrot, a brass manufacturing company, until 1876 when he moved to Paris to become an assistant to François-Nicolas Voirin. Following the death of Voirin in 1885, Lamy opened his own atelier where he worked until his death in 1919.

This particular example is branded A.LAMY A PARIS and features a round stick of fine pernambuco, carrying an ivory tip plate, silver tinsel winding, and a black leather grip. The frog is ebony fully mounted in silver, with pearl eyes, pearl slide, and octagonal silver/ebony button.

This bow is featured on page 125 of Chris Brown's book, Discovering Bows for the Double Bass.
