Based in Cremona, the violin-making capital of the world, Emilio Slaviero is arguably Italy’s finest bow maker. He works in conjunction with his wife Antonietta, also a bow maker, and their talented son Luca, expressing his love of music, design, sculpture and style through his exquisitely crafted bows. His training with the pre-eminent French archetier and expert J.F. Raffin has deepened his understanding of the classical French bow making tradition. This beautiful, gold-mounted cello bow is exciting to play, its tonal vibrancy, great spiccato and precise articulation an inspiration to any advanced player.
