Keen Amateur

Great bow for a fiddler on a budget.

Pros: Good balance, feels comfortable to hold, it is agile, and above all, I can pull a powerful tone from my fiddles with it, no matter what strings I'm using (gut, synthetic, metal) Excellent price for a bow of this quality, and when you consider the VAT within the price, it becomes even more remarkable!

Cons: Can't think of any negatives at all.

Other: Great service from The String Zone as always.

Fabulous bow
0 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: I have had a Durrschmidt for about 35 years and I have loved having it. I saw that String Zone were selling them so bought myself a new Octagonal stick version. I love how they handle and the weight is right for me.

Cons: None

Other: Excellent service from String Zone as usual. The bow was well packaged and arrived very quickly.
