A light stiff fast ipe cello bow
£240
Item code VCB5
This bow has a octagonal ipe stick, sterling silver mounting, abalone slide and eye, and an ebony frog.
It's light at 80 grams, and the weight is well balanced with a balance point of 256mm.
The stick is fairly stiff, and the stiffness and light weight make this a fast lively bow with good agility.
The tone is bright and lively.
This bow should also be considered by viola players looking for a cello bow.
Ipe is a brazilian wood that has gained favour recently as a premium quality alternative to rare and endangered pernambuco.
The look and feel of this bow is indistinguishable from a pernambuco bow.
