"I was so happy to receive my new Joh Krausch bow yesterday just in time for my cello lesson in the evening.  I proudly took it to my lesson and asked my cello teacher to try it out.  I was thrilled with the incredibly gorgeous music he made with it!  I figured he must really be liking it because he just kept on playing!!  When he finished his piece, he said, "That is a really nice bow.  I like it better than mine!"  I told him it listed for $385. Before I could say more, he said, " wow, that is less than I paid for mine."  The shocker came when I told him, "yes, but I only paid $255 for it"!!  He was truly amazed that you could buy a bow of  that quality for such a low price." - L.W.
