I'm buying a new cello bow for one of my grand daughters.
We are off to Tim Toft Violins in a couple of weeks so she can test out a few.
There are budgetary constraints of course (her latest cello, recently acquired, is full sized and second-hand, sourced by her teacher). Her current bow is held together with gaffer tape and doesn't hold tension well; so can be improved on.
I'd really appreciate any advice from any cello players out there as to what to look out for. This advice can be at any level - I do not play a stringed instrument so have no clue.
If you want to avoid the 'endless debate' posting feel free to PM me direct.
Thanks in advance.
PS apologies for posting here - have I missed the Instruments thread?
