Cello Bows For Sale
PR Leblanc, Paesold Workshop, Bubenreuth circa 1960
£600
A very good German cello bow, nickel mounted. Octagonal section red pernambuco. We believe these bows were made by the Paesold workshops specifically for export to the UK and the USA. The stick is very strong for its weight, and the condition is near-perfect. More details
A Good German Cello Bow circa 1910

A very elegant Tubbs model cello bow from the early 20th century, nickel mounted dark chocolate-brown figured pernambuco with a plain ebony frog. The work is very good, the stick is strong and the camber is excellent. More details
A Cello Bow by A. Carlesso, Brazil
£900
Alessandro Carlesso makes superb bows from Brazilian pernambuco – his work is very fine and the wood is outstanding. This bow has a round stick of very dark wood and is silver mounted with an ornamental adjuster. A very dense stick, giving a lot of power for the weight.
