This cello bow is made of composite glasfiber material. The advantage of carbon is that the quality is guaranteed and all bows are almost the same, while with wooden bows a distinction in quality is possible. The Animando cello bow is a good choice for beginning and advanced players. The stick is very stable in balance and produces a clear warm tone. An additional advantage is that the stick is very robust and can take a beating. The brand Animando^® is the brand of Strijkinstrumentshop.nl and because of its own import it is favorably priced compared to other brands of equivalent carbon bows.
