BACH.Bogen
Monica also plays a BACH.Bogen® (BACH.Bow), built by Michael Bach of the Atelier BACH.Bogen. The bow allows her to play one, two, three and four strings simultaneously and to change easily among these possibilities. The high arch of the bow allows full, sustained chords to be played and there is a lever mechanism that affects the tension and release of the bow hair.
