This carbon fibre bow has been texturized to resemble pernambuco, but it is virtually impossible to distinguish this bow from a wooden one. The resemblance is perfect.
The use of carbon fibre in bows has been refined to the extent where the playing properties of a good CF bow now closely rival those of fine wooden bows. Furthermore, the advantages are multiple - affordability, strength, resistance to humidity and climatic influences and virtually unbreakable under normal conditions, making them an excellent choice for students and professionals who may at times perform under risky conditions.
Furthermore with increasing uncertainty over the sourcing of pernambuco and the movement of pernambuco bows across international borders, these carbon fibre bows are a practical option and a viable solution in the long term.
This bow, with its beautiful silver-mounted frog and intricate winding in the lapping has very strong visual appeal.
The playing properties are, simply put - excellent! In articulation and balance this bow rivals high end professional master bows and is equal to any demand made on it.
