History of this instrument
Since the 1990s, the Musical Instrument Fund has been supported by the donor who has loaned us this Grütter cello bow. In addition to the monetary donations we have received and this cello bow, the fund has no fewer than three cellos and three cello bows on loan from this individual. Through this, he has helped countless musicians obtain a quality instrument. Renske Béguin was the first cellist to play this bow; currently, Liesbeth Bosboom is the lucky cellist.
