Matthias R. PENZEL Master German Violin Bow

The Penzels are a family of bow-makers with long tradition. Emil Max Penzel founded his workshop in Erlbach near Markneukirchen, Germany in 1907. The next family member was Kurt Penzel and then his son Gerhard Penzel. In 1974 Kurt Gerhard moved his home and the family business to Ostrach. Now Gerhard Penzel’s son Roland leads the commercial side of the business as well as the repair and restoration area while his son Matthias concentrates on handmade and commissioned bows. Matthias received his master qualification at Nurnberg in 2008. His bow craftmanship is not only representing the excellence of his family tradition, but also as one of the best living German bow makers.
