Take a Bow 2008

1 November to 7 December 2008

We are very pleased to announce our next exhibition of international contemporary cello bows which will take place from 1 November to 7 December this year.  Fifty world class cello bows by international master makers will be available for cellists to try at our studio in Ely and we will also be taking the exhibition on an educational tour of conservatoires throughout the UK.

For cellists seeking a new bow, Take a Bow is a unique opportunity to compare the work of the world’s finest contemporary makers, both those already famed for their work and less well-known but talented young makers who have been recommended by their senior colleagues.

Bow makers exhibiting this year include Mike Maurushat Australia; Thomas Gerbeth Austria; Robert Pierce Belgium; Yannick Le Canu,  Boris Fritsch, Pierre Nehr, Jean-Luc Tauziede, Paul Sadka  France; Noel Burke Eire; Hugo Gabriel, Josef Gabriel, Klaus, Thomas  and Richard Grünke, Tino Lucke, Johnnes Miething, Christian Wanka Germany;  Pierre-Yves Fuchs Switzerland; Bernd Etzler Hungary; Howard Green, John Stagg, David Tempest, Richard Wilson, Mark Yakoushkin UK; Morgan Andersen, John Aniano, Peg Baumgertel, Ronald Fletcher, William Salchow, Stephen Salchow, David Samuels and Roger Zabinski  USA.

One young maker who has won a series of major prizes since we first showed his bows at Take a Bow 2003 is Yannick Le Canu. Players who bought his work have had the satisfaction of knowing that they spotted his talent early on – and have also made an excellent investment.

Full details of Take a Bow 2008 will be sent out with our September newsletter, while up to date information about the exhibition will be posted  at regular intervals.  Bookings for the exhibition will open on 1st September.

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.  To read articles about past exhibitions, see Bow Testing Techniques and Players Test Bows.
