The Westbury Octagonal Cello Bow is the very same as included with Westbury cello outfits. It represents a step-up from student bows and is suitable for those progressing through intermediate standard grades.

Octagonal bows such as this Westbury are often preferred by those who like a little bit of weight in their bow. All bows infact start off octagonal, and the archetier (bow maker) will then keep some sticks octagonal, whilst rounding the others off.

There is no proven advantage or disadvantage to using an octagonal bow, it really comes down to personal preference, but octagonal bows will often be ever so slightly heavier than round stick bows.

This Westbury Cello Bow is made from a Brazilwood stick featuring imitation whalebone lapping and includes a fully mounted fine ebony frog with a Parisian eye. 

*The species of Brazilwood used for these bows is Manikala/Massaranduba which is not on the CITES endangered list.

Available in 4/4, 3/4, and 1/2 size.
