Worth the wait.
3 out of 5 found the following review helpful

Pros: I bought this bow for my daughter as her old one was not particularly good. She loves her new bow and it has inspired her to keep practising. It really makes a difference to the sound and we are all enjoying the benefits.

Cons: .

Other: I spent quite a lot of time reading reviews from people who seemed to know what they are talking about and chose this bow on the strength of those reviews. It was out of stock but I asked to be notified when it was back in stock and then bought it. The Stringzone were quick and efficient.

Much improved tone with my new bow

Pros: My bow arrived in two days from being despatched. It was very securely wrapped in its hard cardboard tube I love the sound of my new bow compared to my well used one . It plays with a lovely mellow tone and I feel my playing sounds much better . My own bow is needing rehaired and I will use this service as I am so pleased with Stringzone. I have ordered some new rosin now.. the one which was used by Stringzone to give my bow its first rosin

Cons: I am happy with the quality of my bow and the service of Stringzone . I could not find anything negative at all

Other: So relieved that the bow was packaged so well as post sometimes takes quite a knocking in vans

Well worth it.

Pros: Made my playing sound much better!! Delighted! Never considered a three quarter bow before and it’s much better for me as I’m quite small. Never occurred to me to try it. Thanks to a blog related to your website I tried it and I’m very very pleased.

Cons: It looks quite ordinary for something that’s proved quite magical

A great student bow and superb value for money.

Pros: I’m returning to the violin after the best part of 40 years layoff. My grade 8 from 1981 is now a mediocre grade 5 at best, but this bow has made even me sound good. Excellent balance and and easy to control but also bounces in a nice predictable way for spiccato etc. The tone is strong and even, especially when wound up to the upper end of the recommended tension range. Pleasantly surprised at how good it is for the money. Recommended!

Cons: Some of the finish around the frog and tip is a bit sketchy.

Other: Great service and a very reasonable price from The String Zone

Good all-round, value-for-money performer

Pros: I bought this as a spare whilst my main bow was being rehaired (by the string zone). This bow represents excellent value for money. It's responsive and draws a pretty good tone

Cons: For the money, none
