Cenovia Cummins
Concertmaster, New York Pops Orchestra, Riverside Symphony, and School of American Ballet Orchestra, Yeats Quartet

 “Michael Yeats bows have been my constant companions for most of my career. They all exhibit superb handling, playability, carrying power and sound spin.  His bows are the necessary tools that allow me to express myself at the highest level.  Michael’s bows have an unmistakable musical quality that few living bow makers have achieved.”
