For over three generations, the Dörfler family has crafted bows that embody the rich tradition of German bow making. Founded by Egidius Dorfler, the workshop is known for producing high-quality bows with excellent playability, using carefully selected woods and meticulous craftsmanship.

The Dörfler #20A Octagonal Pernambuco Violin Bow is part of their 1-Star series, designed for advancing students who are ready to step into the world of Pernambuco bows. Handcrafted from select, seasoned Pernambuco wood, the #20A features an octagonal stick that offers added strength and stability, making it easier for players to develop precision, control, and a more refined sound.

The fully-mounted silver ebony frog is detailed with a Parisian eye and accented by an abalone slide. Finishing touches include a bone tip, silver winding, and a comfortable leather thumb grip—details that make the #20A a durable, attractive, and responsive bow for the developing violinist.
