“Almost 20 years ago, I wanted a baroque bow. As I knew a viol player who had a bow made by Eduardo Gorr, which I found of incredible beauty, I decided, without having tried one of his violin bows before, to order one for myself... I went to Cremona to get it, Eduardo put it in my hand, and I have been playing with it ever since…
This bow has been accompanying me for so long that I can hardly imagine playing the music I love without this pen, this pencil, this brush, this magic wand in my hand. I also have two other of Eduardo’s bows that I use for other repertoires, and they all share this high quality of sound and a unique appeal that brings me great joy!!!”
