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.

Very good quality and value
Pros: The combination of price and quality. It is a little heavier than the expensive bow I had been borrowing, but had met with approval from the experts.
Cons: I think I like the lighter weight bow, but am getting used to this one and there are no problems and the difference is marginal.
Other: I have the iimpression that this is about the best value for money that one could expect to find anywhere.

good beginners bow at a good price
Pros: It felt balanced and with sufficient weight (within the limits that it is hard for an adult to appraise a 1/4 violin bow). It looked well put together. Overall, I was pleased with it.
Cons: given the price, no real gripes.
