Colorful and rich, this bow brings out the best in any cello. This has a crisp bite to it, easily projecting a full sound. On the lower strings, it creates a buttery, smooth tone that draws in the listener. The higher register is sweet and tender with this bow, allowing the instrument to sing beautifully. Playing with this bow is quite smooth as it is flexible, making quick changes in articulation easy when the music demands it.
