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.

Good beginners bow
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: Nice feel and weight

Cons: About an inch longer than my old bow so it doesn't actually fit in my (very cheap) violin case, although I've improvised and can get it in at an angle.

Easy to hold, move and play. Improved the Tone.
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: As a beginner I am no expert but it was much better than the the bow that came with my very pre-owned czech factory cello. I have also albeit briefly played violin. I nearly did over tighten it (the old one was very very stiff) but as I could easily see the wood bowing too much I was able to prevent any damage.the nut moves smoothly. It is also quite comfortable to hold in the fingers, i was not sure about it being slightly octagonal but now I like that too, The sound the cello makes is much nicer now. I was pleased that I had bought that one and would buy another.So far, I have not lost many hairs off it at all and it is easy to rosin. It is quite light, i'e . not too heavy.

Cons: None for me.

Other: Came promptly and was very well packaged, I keep it and my old one in the shipping tube.

Pros: Very good price / performance. Nothing to dislike at the money. Made more sense to buy this than rehair another cheap bow.

Cons: V Slightly heavy and chunky

Other: I'm pleased with this and and would be happy to recommend. It will do me for now and will make a good spare should I buy something more expensive.
