Good bow and speedy delivery
2 out of 3 found the following review helpful

Pros: Far better bow than the one that came with my Stenter Student 2 package. Well balanced and not too scratchy.Very pleased.

Cons: Nothing. Not quite sure how far to tighten it. It doesn't have the same gap as my original bow?

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

Balance and control

Pros: Wonderful control and balance. I have been playing only for a few months and it made a big difference. I was making a decent sound with the stock bow but when I first used this one in the same way ..I found it very loud!!! I couldn't believe how delicately you can play and I think I have improved quicker using it. Obviously it's not a miracle worker..and I practice hard, but I think I making progress faster.

Cons: Nothing.. it's great!

Good travelling bow

Pros: I purchased the bow to take along with my Cricket travelling violin, and ordered the 3/4 size as I needed a shorter and cheaper bow to take onboard a sailing boat. It does the job fine. Good price and reasonable quality.

Cons: I wouldn't use it as my 'best bow' as I have a Coda Diamond bow which is much better quality, but it still gives a much better sound and feel than a cheap wood or plastic bow.

Other: I would imagine that the full size version provides a good option for folk players going out to pubs to play.
