Prosper Colas (1842-1919)
He learned bow making in his hometown of Coincourt and moved to Paris to work in J.B. Vuillaume's workshop. Influenced by D. Peccatte, he produced bows of such high quality that they are sometimes mistaken for the work of his contemporaries, such as F. Bazin, C. Husson, and P. Kunio.
His workshop thrived due to the excellent quality of his affordable bows, and he produced many bows under his own brand.

This is an old French bow by the renowned old master, Prosper Colas.
We highly recommend this bow to those who use old or modern master instruments and are struggling to fully bring out their instrument's potential in terms of volume and tone.
It was on loan to a performer but has been returned, so we will be listing it after maintenance.

We are selling some of the instruments and bows we own as part of a project to support young performers.
In addition to its value with a certificate of authenticity, this is a highly practical bow that prioritizes performance, making it ideal for performers.

The bow has been rehaired and maintained, and rosin has been applied for demonstration purposes.
It is in excellent condition and can be used for many years to come.

We also have many other bows from workshops and famous brands available.
Please enjoy a selection of violin bows carefully chosen by our specialty store, ranging from new to old, with prices from hundreds of thousands to millions of yen.
