Perfect match!

Pros: Lightweight, flexible and balanced; beautiful round pernambuco wood stick and dark brown (almost black) wooden frog with mother of pearl eye; "W.Dorfler" signature; high quality natural hair; packed inside a very hard tube for postage protection; fast shipping

Cons: None

Other: This bow matches perfectly with my violin, the rosin used by TheStringZone on this bow is also perfect, it drastically enhanced the tone of my violin, and the bowing became very natural and smooth, allowing for a wider range of dynamics and control. I highly recommend!

OK
0 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: It is pernambuco, and functions all right. It is a real bow, you can play with it (comparing to cheapest ones)

Cons: The stick looks thick and bulky (but weight is fine), our previous hidersine bow (about same price range) springed/hopped better

Other: I wish you stocked better quality bows in 3/4 size
