Characteristics of the Dörfler student cello bow

The stick of this bow is not made of the famous Pernambuco, but of woods called “Brazilwood”. Unlike what their name suggests, these species do not come from Brazil. However, they are still very close to Pernambuco. As such, the wooden student bows I offer have very similar technique characteristics to that of the sought-after Pernambuco, even if their colour and texture are different.

However, the stiffness and responsiveness of such sticks are not necessarily not as good as that of a Pernambuco stick. While they do not display the nice colour of the actual Brazilwood, they are more affordable.

They have quite a nice finish. Their ebony frog is mounted with an abalone lining and wounding. As for the metal parts, such as the ferule, the button and the wrapping, they are made of nickel silver, an alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc. If you look closely, you may notice that the stick is labelled Werner. This is the label Dörfler uses to identify the most affordable of their instruments.

Besides, the sticks are available in many sizes, even for the smallest cellists!

 

The violin maker’s hindsight on Dörfler student cello bow

For a student bow, this model has the advantage of being well-made. The materials are simple, with no embellishment, they get down to basics. That’s why they are affordable and have great quality for a reasonable price. Not to mention that I choose these sticks personally and only keep the best.

Besides, they are available in every size.

Countries outside the European Union may apply a customs tax. Additional charges may apply depending on the content of the package. Please do not hesitate to contact me or the customs office in your country if you have any questions or concerns.

Deliveries for strings and accessories that measure under 3 cm are made in registered mail format and are therefore sent by the French Post Office. This applies both to national and international deliveries. This is a simple and efficient way to have your order shipped to you directly.

For larger accessories and instruments, I use the Chronopost or TNT solutions. A tracked shipment can either be delivered directly to your home or to a pick-up location, depending on your preference, which you will be asked to specify at checkout.

I generally ship orders between 1 and 4 working days. However, in exceptional circumstances, such as when travelling, I may not be able to meet these deadlines. In this case I will inform you as soon as possible.

For shipments outside of France, transporters may differ depending on the daily quotation.
