Arcos Brasil - Gold Special Edition Ipe Cello Bow

Weight: 82.5 gms, Balance: 9 1/2"

Maker: V. Schaeffer

This bow fits comfortably in the hand and pulls a sweet, smooth, mellow resonance from the cello. The higher range is syrupy and focused, paired with a rich lower range that can be pushed effortlessly into a heavier, deeper tone. The stick feels flexible and easily maneuverable, making string crossings fluid and graceful. Overall, this bow has a shimmery, elegant, tender character.
