The Dörfler DV15A 4/4 is a professional entry-level bow for advanced violinists, from the Pernambuco Nickel-Silver collection of the Basic Bows W. Dörfler line. This bow is crafted from high-quality Pernambuca wood that has been stored and dried under ideal conditions for over 30 years. Thanks to its octagonal shape, the DV15A offers a refined combination of strength, flexibility, and precision, resulting in a direct response and a warm, rich tone that is both expressive and controllable.
The finish features a fully lined ebony frog with a heel plate and a single eye, a metal blanc winding, and a three-pronged end cap with mother-of-pearl inlay. These carefully selected materials and handcrafted finishes create a professional appearance and a balanced playing feel. By participating in the IPCI reforestation program to protect the Pau Brasil tree, Dörfler also underscores the sustainable character of this high-quality bow. An excellent choice for serious musicians seeking reliability, comfort, and a mature tone.
