Silver Mounted Carbon Fibre Violin Bow:
The carbon fiber bow is the next generation of bow. What are the
benefits? Carbon fiber bows are manufactured from various grades of carbon
fiber and are bonded with a resin. This results in clear advantages over
wood:
- More durable
- Resist warping
- Light and well-balanced
- Less expensive
These bows have gained popularity recently, in part due to
the scarcity of pernambuco, a dense, heavy wood from Brazil normally used
to make bows. More recently, advances in technology have improved bow
performance, making this type of bow a good alternative, if not choice,
for pros, teachers, and students alike.
