Paul Weidhaas Cello Bow - on Consignment

Weight: 81.5g, Balance: 9 5/16"

With a big sound and a lot of color, this bow will please almost any cellist in need of a good bow. The upper strings sing nicely with this bow as it helps the player spin the sound. The lower strings purr as the sound rings endlessly. It maintains solid contact on all four strings in both delicate and demanding passages of music. As a result, projection is no problem with this bow. This bow would pair nicely with a warm cello looking for more punch.
