Cello bow #44
I offer two models of bows, one that is completely handmade including the frog and button, and one with frogs made by Walter Paulus, a family owned company in Germany. These Paulus frogs are beautifully machine made. This is the reason for the variation in pricing. If you have particular requests you might consider a custom made bow.
The following are some photos of bows I offer. Please feel free to contact me about inventory, pricing or an appointment.
Please see my bow trial by mail policy here.
Bows come with full source documentation of all materials.
I donate $100.00 for each bow I make and sell to the International Alliance of Violin and Bowmakers for Endangered Species who are working to put a sustainable action plan into place for tropical woods.
