A cello bow is made of Pernambuco, Brazilwood or a few other exotic woods such as Snakewood. The part of the bow that is pressed against the string to make sound is made of horse hair. To get a sound you put rosin on the horse hair and start playing your cello. Some other parts of a bow are the frog, the furule, the slide and the tip.
