For 39 years Gerald Kagan was the assistant principal cellist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. He was also well known as a bow maker as well as a creator and designer of fine jewelry. This elegant cello bow is typical of the high degree of craftsmanship he had become well known for. The unusual slide is of pearl and engraved gold.
Bows from the H.R.Pfretzschner workshop have always been in demand by musicians all over the world. This bow represents an excellent value for the musician in that the nickel mounted button is a later replacement.
Made by the Finkel Workshop, Brienz, Switzerland.
