John Greenwood Custom Bow - CELLO

Weight: 83g, Balance: 9 1/8"

Maker: John Greenwood

A hybrid shape; not round, not octagonal. The bow is strong and focused.

This bow has a warm, robust character. The higher register is mellow and sweet, the lower register full and rich. It is incredibly responsive to the player, allowing for quick changes in tonal color and dynamics. This bow pairs well with a brighter cello - it softens the sound in a way that creates a complex and inviting resonance.

John Greenwood makes master quality handmade bows for string instruments. Based in San Francisco, John's bows are played by more than 25 members of the San Francisco Symphony, Opera, and Ballet, plus numerous musicians in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Luke's, Atlanta Symphony, New York City Ballet, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. In addition, a good number of concert soloists, concertmasters, and principal players play with Greenwood bows -- many exclusively.
