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

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.
