Top tips for trying bows

Bring your own bow.  It’s very useful to play your own bow when you first arrive, to ground yourself and to get used to the acoustic of the music room.  Your existing bow can also act as a control to compare with the bows you try. 

Bring a fellow cellist, friend or partner
.  We’re very happy to help you handle the bows, make notes and give feedback but it’s especially good to have a friend with you.

Allow yourself plenty of time
.  You are welcome to try bows for as long as you need to make your choice.

Prepare a selection of phrases
with which to explore each bow’s strength, tone and agility. 

Don’t hesitate to ask if you’d like any help or feedback about the bows you are trying.
  If you are struggling to get through the collection we can help to find bows which are most likely to suit you as a player and which will also match the character of your cello.
