Howard Core 1085VC Brazilwood Cello Bow – 3/4 Size

The Howard Core 1085VC is a 3/4 size cello bow designed for younger players using a 3/4 cello. The octagonal brazilwood stick provides a bit more stiffness than a round stick, which helps younger players maintain better control and produce a more focused tone. Getting the right size bow matters, as an oversized bow makes it harder for a young cellist to develop proper technique.

Natural horsehair and a half-mounted ebony frog give this bow the functionality and appearance of a quality student instrument. The balance is appropriate for 3/4 scale playing, and the overall weight is proportional to the smaller instrument. If your young cellist is on a 3/4 cello and needs a reliable bow, the Howard Core 1085VC is a straightforward, well-made choice that won’t hold back their development.
