Heidi! Concert hall applause!<\/p>\n<p>The natural beauty &amp; grain of the snakewood are brought to aesthetic perfection in the fine craftsmanship of each component. Just lovely to behold, a testament to your hard work, meticulous attention to detail, and years of experience. I love what you've done and others do, too. One only need read the reviews of others and peruse the contents included herein to be convinced of your talents in music and bow making. I am one of many purchasers who hold you in high regard. Through correspondence &amp; video, I\u2019ve come to know not only of your talents, but a kind, thoughtfulness when answering questions thoroughly &amp; sharing professional insights. You delivered my bow for my birthday and made videos using my future bow to play two pieces I\u2019d written. Thank you for bringing joy to me as an amateur player and composer. <\/p>\n<p>As you know, in May \u201926 (21st century), I purchased an early 18th century baroque violin bow with screw mechanism. I must be a time traveler. The baroque bow matches well with my modern violins. The pairings produce tones that are warm, pleasing, and clear. In a world where bows can cost more than violins, Cat &amp; Bow well exceeded my expectations in craftsmanship, pricing, &amp; great service throughout. I am truly lucky to have found you, Heidi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_author\">Scott Newman<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_meta\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_1 et_pb_testimonial et_pb_testimonial_no_image et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_inner\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_description\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_description_inner\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_content\"><div>\n<p>After trying one of Heidi's early-Baroque bows belonging to a fellow violinist I decided to order one for myself.

It is an absolute delight. The craftsmanship is exactly right, especially the weight and balance. It draws a warm, round tone from my modern viola with synthetic strings and even better from my copy of a baroque tenor viola with gut strings. The technical demands of the repertoire feel completely natural with your bow, especially playing off the string and bow retakes. The bow is lively, smooth, and always responsive. I am grateful to you every time I open my case. A thousand thanks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_author\">David Felber<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_meta\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_4 et_pb_testimonial et_pb_testimonial_no_image et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_inner\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_description\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_description_inner\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_content\"><p>I have a baroque bow from Heidi, the early 18th century model, and I have been delighted with it from the first moment I tried it. It is a light bow and very comfortable to play. It produces an intense, beautiful and stable sound throughout the stroke, even when playing very slow bows. It adapts very well to different bow strokes and playing double strings with it is really a treat. A great result at a very good price.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_author\">Lidia Fern\u00e1ndez<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_meta\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_5 et_pb_testimonial et_pb_testimonial_no_image et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_inner\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_description\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_description_inner\"><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_content\"><p>I have been playing with an early baroque bow, made by Heidi, for three years now, and I am very pleased with it. The bow is perfect for 17th century music, especially French music, either with an Italian or French bow hold. It has a very quick and direct response and is very stable, which allows it to create a very compact tone, even with slow bows. In fast passages it grips the string very well, which results in a very clear articulation. The bow is very light and has a fine finish. The quality-price relationship is really good. In the following video link I am playing with the aforementioned bow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_author\">Isidro Albarreal<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_meta\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_video_0 et_pb_video et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_video_box\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Marin MARAIS (1656-1728).

It is longer, but feels just as supple, light and stable and with a very fine feeling of balance.

The bow gives me an opportunity to get in touch with the violin.
