A bow should be so much more than an archaic, classic relic. It should possess a certain je ne sais quoi -- a flair for style, a personality. A name. It should be supple and responsive, but bold and resolute. It should sing like a swan, but still prevail in a stand-partner fencing match.
The bow has just been reborn. Introducing: TPG Sharp Bows
Designed, tested, and endorsed by Steven Sharp Nelson, the most watched cellist on the World Wide Web.
"I bought the BRUCE bow and it's just WOW! I have been playing a 1200 bow. The TPG Sharp Bow is so much easier to play fiddle with. I had the 1200 custom made and it's real pernambuco but it has hindered my speed. I have played the TPG Sharp Bow for a few days and I love it! I want a ZIGGY now 😁🎻"

"The sound is REALLY good and the green hair (LUKE) matches my green electric violin."

"I am very impressed with the CARMEN bow. It’s very similar in feel and handling to my fine pernambuco bow. I’ve been recommending TPG Sharp Bows to all my violin students! Thank you for such a fantastic bow."

"My new LUKE TPG Sharp Bow matches my peacock fiddle so well. It was a great addition for fiddling on St. Patrick's Day. I love the weight and balance."

"I like the way it tracks; it compares favorably with my "water violet" bow."

"I LOVE this bow! I was playing on and off for many years, but when I got my TPG Sharp Bow I started playing with a passion that I’d never had before and now I’ll never stop playing again! I could definitely tell the difference between my TPG Sharp Bow and my old bow. THANK YOU!

"My TPG Sharp Bow is really great, and I definitely recommend it. It brings out the rich tone of my cello, and seems to squeak much less than with my other bow."

"I received a TPG Sharp Bow for my birthday and within two weeks I had a performance with my college orchestra. I used my ZIGGY for the concert, and I plan on using it for every concert from now on! I absolutely love my ZIGGY TPG Sharp Bow and I love that it stands out from all others in my orchestra!"

"I really enjoy my TPG Sharp Bow! I have a nice JonPaul Avanti and an expensive pernambuco bow that I use with my good cello. However, I bought the CARMEN to use with my carbon fiber cello and I love the way it plays and feels. It is very comfortable in my hand. I paid much more for my Avanti and I feel like your bow is the same playing wise but more comfortable to play. Overall I’m very pleased!

Each bow possesses three exclusive elements not found in any other bow on the world’s stage:
Strength:
Patented materials made to withstand even Bartók and Paganini -- several times stronger than wood. And attention to detail guarantees each of the bow’s components will stay strong, even through Mahler’s 3rd.
Stability:
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these bows from their appointed rounds. Water-resistant and humidity-resilient. Ready for any condition and ready to withstand concerto-grosso use for the long life of your musical career. All this, plus the balance and weight will astound you -- each tuned to perfection so that the bow is an unfettered extension of your soul.
Style:
Panache like no other. Features and colors that can accompany your personality and closet-diva tendencies. And each bow has a name that matches one of the 28 cellos played by Steven Sharp Nelson.
TPG Sharp Bows resemble the quality and responsiveness of a wooden bow, but with much more durability at far less cost.
