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.

Pros: Well balanced and makes my playing sound noticeably better. The first carbon fibre bow I've used, and significantly better than my similarly priced wooden one.
Cons: Being black it looks slightly odd paired with my 280 yr old brown wooden instrument, but I couldn't see a brown option! The bow came ready-primed with a very low load of rosin, so needed playing in for a short time (under an hour) with additional rosin added until sound was uniform.

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

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?
