Archet "Sonore" cello bow, Japan

Archet is a Japanese bow making workshop which produces fine violin, viola, cello, and double bass bows, in the French bow making tradition, and modelled on master makers Tourte, Peccatte, and Sartory, of which this "Sonore" cello bow is a fine example.

The octagonal stock is made from well-selected and aged pernambuco wood, with solver mopunts and Parisian eyes on the ebony frog.  Excellent playing characteristics make this bow a great choice for an advanced player.
