The Cello Bow
A beautiful cello bow by this celebrated American maker, this 2019 Tourte-model example is numbered 1021S, with the “S” denoting its special quality. The octagonal pernambuco stick shows beautiful natural figuration and is fitted with a silver and ebony faceplate. The ebony frog features large pearl eyes and is paired with an ebony adjuster mounted in silver with two rings and a pearl end dot. Finished with a silver winding and faux lizard grip, the bow is branded in multiple locations. It plays exceptionally well, offering beautiful balance and effortless control. Recently restored by the maker, with older cracks to the audience side of the frog expertly addressed. The stick remains in excellent condition with no repairs.
