Crafting Distinct Baroque Bows to Help You Level Up Your Unique Artistry & Become Even More Inspiring
What is a Good Baroque bow?
A good Baroque bow should enable you to do what Baroque music is all about: contrasts and your ability to imitate words, express vowels, consonants, and a full range of emotions naturally and with ease.
The Perfect Baroque Bows
While numerous Baroque bows excel in cantabile, articulation often feels akin to speaking without teeth, which is not what leading conductors request when they seek players to imitate words. Following extensive attempts from 2003-2005, I developed the ideal violoncello da spalla bow that speaks so that violinists can support their ensembles with meticulously detailed Basso Continuo, Obbligato, and Solo parts, making them sought-after Baroque performers. The enriching search for the ideal violoncello da spalla bow has proven invaluable not only for the cello but also for Baroque bows on the violin and viola.
- Music is a non-verbal language, so when we speak face-to-face, and you move your hand to explain what you need from your bow, I will understand you better than if you used 1000 words. We may have never met, and maybe you have never seen my bows, but I truly understand musicianship and what you need in a perfect bow.
- In the accompanying video, you can hear an exceptional performance where the concertmaster and I, in the role of the leader of 2nd violins, use Badiarov bows. This is to show you that I am familiar with what the finest bows and instruments should allow you to do.
