Arcos Brasil - 'Sartory' Master Replica Silver Ipe Cello Bow

Weight: 81 gms, Balance: 9 1/4"

Maker: V. Schaeffer

This bow is a crisp, vibrant character. The higher register is shimmery and clear, the lower vivid and focused. It plays very smoothly, drawing out a silvery resonance from the instrument. It sits well in the string for maintained contact and quick attacks. This bow feels effortless to control. It pairs best with a brighter cello - its ability to easily manifest different tonal colors adds depth to a naturally brilliant sound.

Ipe wood, silver fitted, Mastodon Ivory tip. Excellent master copy of Sartory style cello bow. Strong, responsive sticks best suited for more advanced players.

Ipe is a South American hardwood, with similar qualities to pernambuco. Pernambuco is currently not being allowed export from Brasil. (2023)
