  • Bow Trials

    We always recommend that cellists try several bows to find one that is most compatible with their cello, therefore, we offer bow trials out of the shop for bows priced over $4,000. Approval of a trial will always be at our discretion. Please use our Get in Touch form to let us know you are interested and we can start a conversation about your bow needs. 

    Specials Note - Due to the possibility of being added to the endangered species list in November 2023, we will not be honoring any discounts on pernambuco bows from here on out.

    We reserve the right to refuse bow trials at our discretion.

    Credit Card

    You will be required to provide us with a valid credit card, your address, email address, and shipping address (which must match the credit card).

    Payment for Trial

    We require a $200 fee upfront that will cover shipping 2 ways, and insurance for the bows. If you decide to purchase one of the bows, the $200 fee will be applied to your final payment.

    Shipping

    We ship trials by UPS.  For security reasons, bows must ship to your verified credit card billing address and will required a signature on delivery. When you're ready to return the trial, please pack the bows as you received them (making sure to securely tape the box),  and contact Anne for a return label. Then take to any authorized UPS shipping location or a UPS driver. They will have to sign a high value document. Mom and Pop shop shipping centers are NOT authorized to sign this document, so please make sure you are able to take it to an authorized UPS center.

    Can you ship the bows to a different address?

    Unfortunately, for security reasons, we require that the bows ship to your credit card billing address.

    How long does shipping take?

    Depending on where you live, UPS ground is usually 5-8 days. 

    1-Week Trial

    You can have up to 3 bows on trial for a week. Before your week is up, we request that you contact us and let us know how the trial is going. If you need a few extra days to take the bows to your lesson please contact us so we know what is going on. Shipping time is not counted as part of the seven days.

    Can I arrange a second trial with different bows?

    We can usually accommodate a second set of bows for trial depending on our inventory. Please let us know if you will need additional bows. You will have to return the first batch first, though. You will have to pay an additional $200 for the second round.
