Nicole Descloux - Bowmaker
The Pražák quartet
Michal
Kaňka:
"I am very happy when I play with Nicole's bow,
for several reasons.Firstly her bow is both very stable and flexible,
which are qualities all well made bows should have, this is true, but
her personal touch not only gives a very clear sonoroty, it also gives
a unique feeling to hold and is very pleasant to look at. It is always
a great pleasure for me to use it. Thank you Nicole and good luck with
your next creation. "

Holek : "The
bow I
play is one of the best I have ever heard : it is perfectly balanced
and it is also a beautiful work"
Vacláv Remeš : "Her work
is like beautiful diamond to me ; it is not only a very good
instrument, it is also a jewel".
Josef Klusoň : "One by one, we folllowed the example of our cellist, Michal. According to this opinion we currently are fitted by Nicole bow. I'ts quite exeptional to notice the same choice for a complete quartet. It means that it is considant with homogeneity and quality of these bows."
Raphaël Oleg : " I really love this bow, I don't stop playing it and I am going to give it the baptism of fire on Friday in the double of Brahms with Sonia Wieder-Atherton. I will tell you all about... "
Mattia Zappa : " Nicole's bow is of such beauty and quality, that shows the best French tradition of bowmaking. My "Descloux-Bow" makes a perfect harmony with my antique "Gabrielli-Cello", and it comes with me through all my musical adventures, from the "Duo-Sonata" for violin and cello from Maurice Ravel I performed with my sister, to the tonight's Gustav Mahler's 5th Symphony in the Tonhalle Orchestra of Zurich."
