Cello instructor Ben Kulp, right, plays a Bach cello suite with a bow recently purchased from bow maker Eben Bodach-Turner, of East Montpelier, left, as he rehairs bows for students at the Upper Valley Music Center in Lebanon, N.H., on Thursday, April 6, 2023. Bow makers and sellers are now undertaking a campaign to inform musicians about the endangered status of the pernambuco, the most prized material used in bows for stringed instruments. In 2007 at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, raw pernambuco wood was made illegal to export. In November, 2022, a proposal by Brazil, the only country where the tropical hardwood grows, that the tree be placed under the highest levels of CITES restriction prohibiting all commercial trade of the wood and its products, was deferred. “For 250 years players have been told, you’ve got to have a pernambuco bow,” said Bodach-Turner. “If we don’t do something, we are going to lose it, 100%,” he later added. “There’s no chance of saving it if we don’t take some sort of action.” (Valley News - James M.
