cracked bow
cello, music, pictures, sad September 29th, 2009This afternoon, at rehearsal, I cracked my good cello bow. It happened while I was gesturing to the drummer to play something that was different from what he was playing. The guitarist didn’t see me doing that, and he turned around a little bit, which is when my bow smacked into the neck of his electric guitar.  Here’s the result:
You can see how close it came to being a fatal break. I’m fairly sure that it can be glued, but if for some reason it can’t be, you’re going to be reading about a very unhappy Todd, very soon. Luckily, I do still have my old backup bow, but it isn’t nearly as responsive or as high-quality as this one is.
This really blows.
I could use a glass of wine, a hug, and an influx of cash.

One of my violin bows is well over $200 dollars. Even if that isn’t a very big price tag in the ridiculous world of stringed instruments, I could imagine how unhappy I would be after losing an investment like that.
Hope you can fix it!
