Johann Krausch Select Cello Bow CB104s

What a wonderful bow!

As an advanced cello student, I started to look for a better bow than the original one. I found this bow through Stringworks online. It is such an excellent bow and so finely made. It also handles very well to the touch. My teacher who is a professional cellist also gave it high marks. I also had excellent customer service with Todd and Evan. Highly recommend this store. AAA+++

Totally satisfied and happy

I recently purchased a new cello online from Stringworks and was completely satisfied with the experience. I am an older beginner and by no means a great cellist, nor did I come into the process with a lot of experience buying a cello. I am amongst the many who during the lockdown bought an instrument online to maintain my sanity. After 2 years of study, I had realized that the instrument I had bought, though a reasonable student model, was in the long run not going to inspire me nor and allow me to grow in the manner I wished to. Problem is I live rurally, and it is inconvenient to visit the local shops. I found Stringworks from a youtube video and gave them a call. Right from the onset I was impressed with how friendly, helpful and interested they were in helping me find the right instrument. I dealt mostly with Evan and he is a great guy. He was patient and helped guided me through the process while educating me along the way. He did not try and upsell me or take advantage of my naïveté but instead seemed to be really interested in getting me a cello that would address my needs. He was responsive and always answered my (many and often stupid) questions in a patient, helpful manner, providing sound samples of the different cellos and making sure that I understood the differences and nuances. When I received the instrument with a new bow it was truthfully a little overwhelming. The cello itself was gorgeous and the workmanship excellent as well as the setup but there is a big difference between the sound and performance of a student level cello and a truly fine instrument, and it took me a bit to find my bearings. It was at this point when I felt Stringworks support really shinned. Even though the sale had already been made Evan continued to support me and helped me navigate my way through the transition. We swapped out strings to address issues which I was hearing and they stuck with me until I was totally satisfied and happy. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy online.
