Pros: Delighted with this 3/4 size bow. Bought for my 11 year old. The price was good. The weight of the bow is perfect. She loves to play her violin with it.
Cons: The black tape needs to be stuck, that could be because she uses it so much.
Other: I would definately recommend this bow for students. It came very fast in the post, well wrapped. She is delighted with it.

Pros: The bow arrived in good time and was robustly packaged. The level of workmanship appears to be of a good standard for the price point.
Cons: The "noise", I hesitate to say "sound", made by the bow. My hope was that it would sound at least as well as my stock bow.
Other: I have a Stentor II violin and bought the Dorfler as a "backup" bow. As one does I used both bows, back to back on open strings as a comparison (same rosin): the Dorfler is very scratchy, has a poor, thin, metallic tone in comparison to the original bow. I think I would stick to the original until down to its last 5 strings before reaching for the back-up Dorfler. Disappointing for £81.60.
