REVIEW VIDEOS

Finely crafted in the Finkel atelier in Switzerland, Daniel Ernst has been producing outstanding bows at an attractive price since 2008.  Ernst's bows tend to be firm, yet flexible and provide a quick response with good tone. The balance point lies close to center-frog.

Round pernambuco stick. Ebony frog with silver fittings.

"For some decades it has been our pleasure to offer bows from the legendary Swiss Atelier of the Finkel family. The establishment has, for over 40 years, provided performing artists, teachers and students with the finest bows. I personally own bows by Johannes Finkel and Markus Fisher and have recommended bows from all the other makers in the Atelier to my students and colleagues. I have been visiting my friends in Switzerland for years to discuss and select fine examples of their work for our customers. The centuries-old art of bow-making, using the finest pernambuco with only the highest-grade ebony, silver and gold, lives on in this preeminent workshop. I highly recommend any of the Finkel line of bows to our valued customers."
- Charles Avsharian, Shar CEO

The tradition of the master bowmaker is alive and well at the workshop of Johannes Finkel in Brienz, Switzerland. Mr. Finkel's bowmaking heritage descends from his great-grandfather, Ewald Weidhaas, a craftsman from the renowned workshop of Victor Fetique. It has passed through the hands of his grandfather, Paul Weidhaas and father, Siegfried Finkel. As a fourth generation bowmaker, Mr. Finkel's devotion to incomparable craftsmanship and the fine traditions of bowmaking have placed him among the world's pre-eminent living makers.

I love my new D Ernst bow!

This bow is a pleasure to look at. It’s a nice weight and well balanced. It plays very responsively.

I Don Not Purchase this Bow

I did not purchase add this bow. Instead I selected a bow by J.M. Luthi. My new bow is 60 grams with a round purnambuco stick. I found the weight and balance fit well with the contemporary Italian instrument that a secured earlier this year.

I am enjoying working with the current combination of violin and bow.
