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
Unless stated otherwise all our bows are supplied with a starter coat of premium quality TSZ Corde dell'arco rosin. Good, fresh rosin is essential to obtain the best performance from any bow.
Specifications
- Octagonal Brazil wood stick.
- Half mounted ebony frog with pearl dot and slide. 1/8-4/4 size

Pros: I investigated buying a new bow for my son after he broke his at school and the cost of repair would have not been worthwhile. I am extremely pleased with the bow, the weight and balance are good and it is clearly a step up from the previous bow that my son had (bought as part of a set). My son thinks it helps him to make a good sound and has improved his confidence (grade 4).
Cons: Nothing
Other: Yet again an extremely good service with a good product from the string zone

I would happily buy this product again.

Cons: Nothing much, perhaps a little light in the upper half, but a good purchase for the price.

Pros: My son is a beginner. His violin teacher is a professor at the Royal College of Music. His teacher rejected the first 3/4 violin I rented as not good enough. I was worried that the 3/4 bow would be rejected as well. After a "test drive" by his teacher it was allowed to stay.
Cons: Nothing

Pros: Brilliant bow! It's not heavy, not light but just perfect! Such a comfortable bow to play with!
Cons: When loosening - the screw can sometimes come out to the extent that it won't go in again - you have to push it and screw back in, not too much of a problem - but it worried me the first time!
Beginner
Great bow at a good price.
