Siqueira is one of Brazil’s most experienced bow makers. Now working with L’archet Brasil, Siqueira got his start in bow making when he had the opportunity to travel to Erlangen Germany to train in the Seifert workshop. A number of years later Siqueira worked in the workshop of renowned Belgian bow maker Pierre Guillaume.

The bow pictured here has good strength, yet is supple enough to pull a beautiful legato sound, spiccato bowing comes easily with this bow as the balance and weight are well matched.
