“Every time I pick up the bow it makes me happy! The balance in my hand is perfect. It feels so controlled and secure no matter what bowing technique is required…. I love the richness of the sound it helps me to produce. It is a perfect match to my beloved 18th century Italian violin. Thank you Jacob!”
Austin Desimone, violinist for Orion PDX string quartet

“My transitional bow has been nicknamed “the magic Harry Potter wand.” Every cellist who tries it wants to buy it from me and I tell them, “I will only release it when I can no longer play.” It is the smartest bow that does exactly what I want/need with no effort. The clarity and tone it gets from every string and register is just incredible and I am still in awe that it is mine!”
