Remember, don’t wait until a string breaks, always carry a spare set!

Rosincello-rosin

A much needed, yet inexpensive accessory. Forenza Cello Rosin will give your bow the correct level of adhesiveness to ensure accurate articulation and response. Forenza is by far our most popular rosin brand due to its quality and price of under £4! The rectangular design allows for easy application and provides the perfect friction between the bow and string. Top-Tip; always sand/rub down a little of any new rosin blocks to help adhesion, plus don’t press too hard and break the hairs from your bow.

Bows

The Forenza Cello bows are perfect as a replacement bow for any brand of Cello. They have been designed especially for students, younger players, beginners and clumsy Cellists! Continuing with Forenza’s ethos of affordable, yet outstanding quality of bow making, their Cello Bows are excellent. Carefully selected Brazil wood and horsehair result in a consistent performance. The lighter the bow the more manoeuvrability, however a slightly heavy bow can assist in producing more sound. These Forenza Cello Bows have been designed ‘to offer the best of both’ to produce a great sound without fatigue.
