Top Features to Look for in a Violin Bow
When shopping for a new violin bow, there are several factors to consider. The material, weight and balance, and the frog and grip all play a role in the bow’s performance.
Material: Carbon Fiber/Fiberglass vs. Wood Violin Bows
Violin bows are typically made from carbon fiber, pernambuco, or Brazilwood. Pernambuco is the most common wood used to make violin bows and is widely regarded as the best material. Carbon fiber bows are a great alternative to pernambuco, and are also a popular choice for outdoor performances due to their durability. We also offer a selection of Fiber Glass violin bows, which are a great option for beginners looking for an affordable and durable bow.
Weight and Balance: Finding the Perfect Fit
The weight and balance of the bow are perhaps the most important factors to consider. A well-balanced bow will feel light in your hand, allowing you to play with ease. The weight of the bow will also impact the sound it produces.
