Fiddlerman Carbon Fiber Violin Bow 4/4

Good opinion for a bow replacement. Works better than the lower end bows that I have used. It has good weight and balance. The hairs tighten evenly.

I inherited my grandfathers 100 yr old German made violin and refurbished it with the intention of playing again after many years. The instrument turned out nicely, but the bow was not in good shape so I searched for a new one. I settled on the Fiddlerman carbon fiber bow based on reviews I had seen. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the package containing the bow. It was shipped in a box, but also came in a very nice little box of it's own. A very nice touch for a not so expensive bow. I added rosin and was again pleasantly by the nice smooth sound the bow produced. After a couple of weeks of playing with this bow, I am still impressed with its performance and the quality of construction. If you are looking for an inexpensive quality bow for your violin, I don't think you will be disappointed with this product. Well done Fiddlerman.

OMG, this is a great bow for the price! I love how light and sturdy it is and the real horse hair is providing such a rich sound with no screeching over my high end synthetic bow. Love it! Just be sure to use a lot of rosin when you first get it. The Siberian horse hair is very thirsty at first.

This is a good bow, but to save time, purchase it from the official site instead. They function with professional musicians who will inspect the bow before shipping it over, which guarantees a straight bow, but that's not the case with Amazon - you may get a crooked bow without the inspection. I had to return it because the one I got from Amazon was crooked. Otherwise, still the same item from the same company, and Fiddlerman has fantastic products.

Arrived today, well packaged and in a very nice box for the bow, which was a pleasant surprise. I am a beginner to intermediate player, and purchased my violin and bow from an old man in an alley for practically nothing. It is a student model which was well set up twenty years ago but was very worn. The bow I started with was what I now believe to be a Vale student model. It was breaking down and half the hair was missing so I went looking for an affordable alternative. I'm very traditionalist in my selection of most everything, and was hoping to acquire a well made brazil wood bow at the very least. However, after noticing the many positive reviews of this product I decided to take a chance. Also I live in a very unpredictable climate, and with a carbon fiber bow, you eliminate a great deal of worry over environmental stress on the bow. After the bow arrived I inspected it and found no obvious defect. I rosined it and tested it and am fairly pleased with it so far. I have spent much time looking for an affordable quality bow and I believe this one is a very reasonable selection for a beginner such as myself. Is it a professional quality soloist piece? No. It is priced and manufactured very appropriately for a beginner to intermediate player. It produces a very clear tone and is decently balanced. There are some people who may tire kick this bow and that is to be expected of people in general in this day and age. They want it all, and they want it for nothing. Don't listen to them. This is an extremely high quality bow. For the price point. If you are working with a very tight budget, I highly recommend this bow, in terms of design and quality. This is an excellent option for those of us in need of a workhorse for a low price. And did I mention it comes with a warranty?

I picked up the fiddle in 2002 and have been playing old time tunes since then. I consider myself an advancing- intermediate player. So far I've used cheap brazilwood bows (at least that's what they claimed to be), and have used the same bow for the past 10 years, with an even older bow as a backup. Those bows no longer hold up to the summertime humidity, so I figured I'd give this carbon fiber bow a try. I read the strong reviews, but I can't say I always trust reviews. Well, it arrived today and I rosined it up (with light Bernadel rosin), and man, it does play nicely considering the price. The bow is about a half inch longer than my other two bows, and it doesn't seem to be noticeably heavier or lighter (my other bows must be roughly 60 grams as well). It looks fine -- I didn't notice any obvious errors or problems with construction. And like I said, it plays nicely. Seems to be well-balanced. I've noticed no bouncing or skidding. The horse hair seems fine. You can't expect too much from a $68 bow, but I am surprised at how well it plays for that price. My oldest daughter is about to begin the master's program in violin performance and pedagogy at Arizona State University in the fall, and I will have her mess around with it and give me her impressions. As for me, I'm going to be playing with this bow like crazy at an upcoming music festival in town a week and a half from now, easily four to six hours a day for a few days. If I experience any problems I'll be sure to update my review. Update: No problems at all -- the bow held up to serious humidity and relatively damp late-night playing throughout a festival weekend. I really like this bow.
