Artino Baroque Snakewood Cello Bow

The bow is light and springy, and responds well to baroque style phrasing. The finish is good, though less refined than more expensive bows, as might be expected. With an instrument with lower tension strings, it is a satisfying way to explore the vast baroque repertoire. I have only given 4 stars for ‘sound’, as that is so dependent on the taste and skill of the player. With those reservations, I am very happy with my purchase, and, as ever, with the service from Thomann.
