Col Legno Standard Violin 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

Pros: Light, flexible, great for folk music

Cons: None

Other: quick delivery and excellent communications with String Zone

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!

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.

Pros: For a standard bow I found it to be quite well balanced and reasonably light.

Cons: None
