We don't typically stock cellos or basses (no room to work on them!). That being said, we occasionally have decent student grade instruments available, as well as a few older, better instruments now and again.

We have a wide selection of violin bows, both new and older, only a handful of which are listed here. We've chosen to describe a few that were interesting in some way or another. We also stock new pernambuco and brazilwood bows and carbon-fiber bows from CodaBow, JonPaul and Spiccato Arpege. Our CodaBow selection includes the new Diamond models for violin. Please inquire about our complete bow selection.
