Take a Bow Feedback
An amazing 78
cello bows, 17 viola bows and 20 violin bows have arrived in Ely and are
receiving rave reviews from the players who have tried them so far.
Cellists who have visited previous exhibitions tell us that the standard
of bows in Take a Bow 2011 is unprecedentedly high. Click here to
see a list of cello bows
and here for violin
and viola bows.
The exhibition offers an unprecedented
opportunity to explore a wealth of bows made by some of the worlds most
talented makers. Being able to try
so many high quality bows on the same day under the same roof can be a
very effective and speedy way to find a bow to suit both player and
instrument.
We are now taking bookings for the exhibition in Ely. Please
consult our Appointments
Diary to see when we have free bow-testing slots and then
contact us to book your appointment by phoning us
on 01353 668559 or emailing
sarah@aitchisoncellos.com.
The aim
of Take a Bow is to give violinists, violists and cellists an opportunity to try
exceptional contemporary bows in a supportive and comfortable
environment.
Comparing the playing qualities of a wide range of
fine bows at the same time and place is an ideal way to discover exactly
which bow best suits you and your instrument.
Many of the world's finest
bow makers have sent bows to the exhibition this year including famous
names, prize-winners and exciting new makers. Their
biographies
give an insight into the wonderful expertise and talent which Take a Bow
brings to the UK. Contemporary bows offer exceptional quality and
value and also make excellent long-term investments.
The exhibition takes place at
our workshop home at 7 Cambridge Road in the beautiful cathedral city of
Ely (click
here for maps). Three-hour appointments can be
booked seven days a week, starting at 10am, 1pm and 4pm. Please
phone 01353 668559 as soon as possible to book your visit. We are
also taking the bows on tour to conservatoires around the UK. For
details, see Appointments
diary.
For a
full description of the exhibition process, see
Take a Bow in Ely.
For an insight into the mysteries of bow sound, see our recent
article, interviewing senior bow
makers.
This year Take a Bow is proud to be supporting the work
of the
International Pernambuco Conservation Initiative
IPCI.
More information about the exhibition will be
posted at regular intervals.
