Worth the wait.
4 out of 6 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.

Well worth the cost

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

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?

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
