The MMX 70 Pernambuco cello bow is a beautifully balanced, handcrafted bow designed for discerning cellists who demand precision, tone, and craftsmanship. Made in the MMX workshop using time-honoured techniques, it embodies the company’s dedication to producing instruments and accessories that combine traditional artistry with modern reliability. The result is a bow that responds effortlessly under the hand, delivering a warm, nuanced sound across the full dynamic range.
Each MMX 70 is crafted from fine Pernambuco – prized for its strength, elasticity, and ability to produce a rich, resonant tone. The round stick design provides a natural feel and controlled response, making it a dependable choice for advanced students and professionals alike.
Attention to detail is evident in every part of this bow. It features an ebony frog with silver fittings and a beautifully inlaid abalone shell that adds a touch of refinement. The shell is wrapped with silk and the handle itself is finished with genuine lizard-skin leather, offering both durability and a comfortable grip. This meticulous craftsmanship not only enhances playability but also reflects the refined aesthetic of the MMX range.
Modelled in the style of Eugène Nicolas Sartory, one of the great French bow makers, the MMX 70 combines heritage design with the precision of modern production. Fitted with high-quality Mongolian natural horsehair, it delivers excellent grip and clarity of tone, enabling expressive phrasing and powerful projection – whether in solo performance or ensemble work.
