Product Information
This Brazilwood viola bow offers excellent craftsmanship and playability, making it an ideal choice for students and dedicated players. The bow is available with a round or octagonal stick, crafted from carefully selected Brazilwood and finished with a dark varnish for a polished, elegant look.
Brazilwood is a popular choice for bows due to its resilience and affordability. It is often used in place of Pernambuco, a rare and highly prized wood that is now classified as endangered. This responsible choice supports sustainable practices without compromising on quality.
The fully mounted ebony frog is adorned with a Paris eye and complemented by nickel-silver or silver hardware. An abalone slide enhances the bow's refined appearance. The three-piece button, made of ebony and overlaid with nickel-silver or silver, adds to the bow's durability and style. For a secure grip and balanced weight distribution, the bow features a lapping of nickel-silver or silver wire.
Whether performing in an orchestra, ensemble, or solo setting, this bow provides a responsive feel and clear tonal projection, making it a dependable choice for musicians seeking quality and value.
Round vs Octagonal
The primary difference between round and octagonal bow sticks lies in their shape, which can influence the bow's stiffness and playability. Octagonal sticks are often stiffer, providing a more agile and responsive playing experience, while round sticks tend to be more flexible, offering a smoother and more stable feel. However, these characteristics can vary, making personal preference and individual testing essential when choosing a bow.
