Hans Grimm (ハンス・グリム) violin bows are known as practical bows for intermediate to advanced players, made in workshops in Germany (primarily during the former East German era).
Features
Origin: Many are found to be made in workshops during the former East German (GDR) era. They are distributed in the market as a brand stemming from the Grimm family (such as Carl Grimm) who were based in Berlin.
Inscriptions: It is common to find inscriptions on the stick such as **HANS GRIMM or GRIMM***** (those with asterisks are the higher-end line).
Construction: Made from Pernambuco wood and finished with silver or nickel fittings (mounts).
Estimated Market Price
Prices vary depending on condition and ornamentation (such as silver ebony), but they are traded in the following ranges in the used market and at overseas specialty stores.
General Used Items: Approximately ¥47,700 ~
Overseas Specialty Stores/Auctions:
Nickel Mount (circa 1900): Approximately $1,400 (approx. ¥210,000)
Silver Mount/Made in Berlin (circa 1920): Approximately $2,200 (approx. ¥340,000)
Basic Models: Depending on the condition, they may be valued at around $200-$300 (approx. ¥30,000-¥45,000).
Hans Grimm bows are mainly distributed today as used old-modern bows, and their reputation is established as reliable German-made workshop bows rather than those made by extremely famous makers.
That is all.
Regarding the Hans Grimm bow, honestly, I don't know much about it myself. First, the inscription is small, so I've included a magnified photo. Regarding the construction, the wrapping is made of silver (I've removed most of the tarnish).
The thumb grip has been replaced and looks good. I've also polished the screw nicely.
The frog has a very beautiful Parisian eye decoration.
The hair was likely replaced by the previous owner, so it can still be used, but the timing of replacement is unknown. Please judge from the photos.
Weight: 65g
Length: Approx. 74cm
Includes a wooden case.
