This unstamped cello bow has just received a complete cleanup and refurbishing - new tip facing, new silver lapping and thumbpad and fresh hair. It shows the normal signs of use one would associated with a bow from the early 20th century and is in good condition without any evident repairs.
This bow conforms to all requirements for a good student bow, likely suitable for an advanced student, or beyond.
