Master level, hand crafted cello bow by American master bow maker Rodney D. Mohr. Made from select Pernambuco, this cello bow performs with smooth precision. It is easy to control; it maintains contact across all four strings beautifully, manifesting a rich tone. In faster passages, it snaps off the string for a clear, focused attack. It has a present, elegant sound with a delicate touch, and sustains a deep core in more intense passages. Stamped with the number 1128 under the frog. Rodney D. Mohr on the stick above the frog, and Rodney D Mohr under the winding continuing onto the visible portion of the stick with Mohr visible. Octagonal stick, weight 79.5gm, balance 9 3/8", Tip Shield artificial (and unbreakable) tip. Perfect weight and balance in combination with a strong stick with even straight grain. Rodney has won 20 awards in international competitions. After winning his third gold medal with the Violin society of America, he is no longer eligible to compete and has earned the title of Hors’ Concours. He was awarded his Hors’ Concours Certificate at the 19th Violin Society Competition and Convention in Cleveland, OH on November 11, 2010. Rodney served as a bow workmanship judge for the VSA International Competition in Portland, Oregon in 2008. In 1999, he received third prize for a bass bow in the 2nd Concours International de Paris.
