Description

This is an excellent bow for the beginner violin player. This is a simple correctly made bow adequate for beginners or as a back up. Progressing players will require something a bit better. The bow is made of Brazilwood, a traditional material for student bows, with an octagonal stick and solid ebony frog. The frog is 'half mounted' i.e. of solid wood without a metal backing plate and features a pearl dot decoration. See photo. The lapping is a 2 colour plastic with a leather thumbgrip. The natural horsehair is pre-rosined with quality professional grade rosin so the bow is available for immediate use. The bow can be rehaired in the normal way


Specifications

  • Octagonal Brazil wood stick.
  • Half mounted ebony frog with pearl dot and slide. 1/8-4/4 size
  • Imitation whalebone lapping and genuine leather thumb grip. Natural white horsehair.

Pros: Cheaper than re-hairing the bow that came with my Stentor 11 ! I prefer it to the carbon fibre bow I bought, has a warmer tone.

Good value quality intermediate bow
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: Arrived very quickly and pleased straight away with the quality of the bow for my daughter who is on a half size and grade 5. Good balance she prefers the slightly heavier bow you get with Hexagonal and the tone is way better especially on the lower strings. You can get cheaper bows, but the price is not expensive, at this stage and I would say very good value for money. still saving up for Tubbs for myself one day

Cons: No faults 4 star only because I don't think there is such a thing as a 5 star half size bow

Other: very quick service, happy to recommend
