In contrast to the works of Béla Szepessy, it is obvious that this bow was made by Lajos Köhler and not a German master, since it does not show the characteristic style of the German school at all. This charming bow made around 1900 is more so the work of a self-taught man. It is made of beautiful pernambuco with two knots in it.

The head evokes the works of the early French masters, the almost straight head-plate is completely unique on its own.
