No matter where you are in your journey as a violin player, having the right bow is just as important as having the right violin. But finding the perfect bow to match your instrument can be tricky and sometimes downright confusing.
A bow is very individual to a particular player. Some prefer a heavier weighted bow that will dig into the string and produce a loud sound. Some prefer a lighter weight bow that will not tire out the arm too quickly. Bows can also be individual to the instrument as multiple bows of the same model might play differently on the same instrument. One mistake players often make is to put the majority of their budget into the instrument, and then skimp on their bow purchase. Because bows can make such an impact on the sound of an instrument, it is wise to make sure the quality of bow you're buying will match the quality of the instrument.
Wood is the traditional material for bows. Quality wood bows have a good flexibility while still being sturdy. Many wood bows are made of Pernambuco because of their flexibility.Pernambuco bows use only selected woods that have been stored and dried for approximately 30 years. Thanks to its great hardness and density, this wood type is the only choice for bow making of a high standard. Pernambuco wood comes from the northern and east-central parts of Brazil. The tree from which the Pernambuco is won is called Caesalpinia echinata, also known as Pau Brasil.
This octagonal Pernambuco bow is ideal for beginning and student violinists on a budget. The screw is silver and the bow has a gilding maple leaf pattern frog. This Pernambuco bow will pair well with beginning and student violins.
