Arcos Brasil - GOLD Fitted Pernambuco Cello Bow

Weight: 81.6g, Balance: 9 1/2"

Maker: V. Schaeffer

Smooth and sweet, this bow is sure to draw out the best sound from your cello. In the upper range this bow allows the cello to sing freely, adding a lot of color and warmth. The lower strings respond quickly to this bow, allowing for a crisp start to every note. When pushed, this bow projects easily; however, it does not lose the sweetness that shines in more delicate passages of music. In the hand this bow feels flexible, allowing for more grab in the string. It also has smooth tracking, aiding in holding a consistent contact point on any string.

Stamp: V. Schaeffer

Round stick, gold winding, gold mounted, pernambuco

He currently works for the Brazilian firm Arcos Brasil as one of their top bow makers and is responsible for making many of their special edition bows and master copies.
