It costs me $50 locally to rehair a violin bow, so I just keep replacing them when they need new hair. I like the carbon fiber bows because they are more sturdy than wood and don't warp over time. This one sounds great on my student violin as well as on my very expensive violin, and I can tell no difference in sound quality or projection between this bow and the $350 carbon fiber bow I have. It projects better than the wood bow I have with no difference in sound quality. The black horse hair was an unknown for me, but it took rosin just fine (and it was easy to see where it needed more), and works well. Will definitely buy again when this one needs a rehair.

I have SO many bows that are going bald lol that I needed several new ones to clean bow house. I'm in hot Arizona, so wood bows can warp in the heat and never know when a bar or gig accident will happen - I need carbons. I saw this and the hair looked of interesting higher quality than the white ones so tried it. VERY HAPPY so far. The big deal of course is 'will the hair stay in the bow or start falling apart'. So far so good and very happy with the quality. IT WAS SHIPPED IN A FULL LENGTH OF PVC PIPE !!!! WOW that's pretty pro, industrial, quality shipping. Also came very well foam wrapped inside the PVC pipe with a surprise little plastic fish token.....not sure what that is about but its a very fun touch...vendor pride I guess. Also had an ID tag attached by string which is also a good touch.The frog also has a very high quality smooth silver inlay, not just a fish eye, bow weighs in at exactly 2.0 oz, and has metal wire wrap with sort of leather wrap at the frog. The hair seems to work great even with first rosin.I GIVE THIS BOW 6 STARS. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I play professionally acoustic and custom Zeta electric violins reverbnation.com/jorgeburrage. I plan to buy maybe 2 more plus the cheaper $35 version as backups. EXCELLENT !

Great bow for what I use it for. Been a violin student for a couple years now and my teacher told me that my bow, which is almost 6 years old should either be rehaired or replaced. Being of a lesser quality, I decided to forgo the $80+ It would take to rehair it so I decided to replace it. So a little google search lead me to this bow. It IS GREAT! I Didn’t realize how much I needed a new bow. It has good balance, and crisp sound. For an intermediate students such as myself, I would highly recommend it.

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this. Most people gave it favorable reviews, so I decided to try it. I have tried much more expensive bows that I didn't like as much as I like this one. This bow feels very stable when I'm playing it, and the sound is definitely bright. That might be my one criticism is that it almost borders on being too bright. I compensate a little by playing closer to the finger board, but I do like that when I am playing with this bow, there is definitely power and projection. I have had other bows that were wimpy, and unless you applied a significant amount of pressure, you wouldn't get bold sounds--you'd get sound, but it was soft. I have never seen black hair on a bow, but this one has black hair. I think I might like that better because the white hair on my other bows always starts to get discolored after a time, and while it doesn't affect anything as far as my playing, it makes the bow look grungy. I won't have that problem with a black haired bow. I think this bow is a worthy purchase for most violinists out there. It's certainly cheaper than many other options out there. Oh and it comes in a PVC tube that is closed on both ends. I mention that because my more expensive bows have often come bound up in butcher paper, and I don't give UPS any credit for being gentle with packages, so it always concerned me that my bow sat in a flimsy box with no real protection. This one was thoughtfully packaged and protected. I appreciated that.

I needed a new bow for my violin and saw this one. The price was very fair and the bow plays wonderfully on my electric violin. I would recommend this bow for any student from beginner to advanced. Also, if you play in a semi-professional group and need a spare bow, this one would be a great backup to have on hand. It works very well, but don't cheap out on your rosin.

This is the same carbon bow that everyone sells but with black hair, and pretty cheap. The black hair is very grippy and loud, great for acoustic fiddle in a session or jam. Cheapest black hair bow you'll find probably. Very light and bouncy and well balanced, beats cheap wood bows by a long shot.

I've had this bow for several months now and have only experienced one hair fall off, even with my aggressive playing lol. it's sturdy but so incredibly light which (if you're not aware) is really good for playing. I've noticed that with black horsehair bows, the rosin tends to stick and stay on a lot longer than regular bows. All of this and the price is what makes me want to buy again for my cello and other violins. Guys this is actually a solid bow I highly recommend

EditMy replacement has been standing strong with no issues. I love the bow and wouldn't hesitate to purchase again!The finger grip is coming undone after only a few days of use. Is has not been exposed to water or moisture. I am not sweaty. I do have major OCD tho and this is definitely a hard no. The unraveling is driving my brain nuts! Returning and replacing with the same item, hoping that it was just a dud or soemthing. The bow itself, I really enjoyed. Great tone and lightweight.

Me impresionó la calidad del arco recién lo vÃ, los acabados son excelentes, en cuanto al balance la punta tiene un peso adecuado que permite un sonido estable y rico en sonido aún aplicando las técnicas más exigentes. Las cerdas dan un sonido muy fino, ayudan a sacar lo mejor de tu instrumento. No tengo más que decir, exelente arco ampliamente recomendado.

I am so happy with this bow. I didn't expect much from a carbon fibre but this exceeded my expectations. Wonderful feel, balance and spring. Great value for the price point. I will definitely purchase more from this maker.

An amazing bow :) I just re-started playing violin and my old bow got warped over the years i was not using it. When I received this bow I gave them both to my teacher to compare and she said it was way better than my old bow. And the sound is fuller and richer. If you’re a student and are looking for a bow, I definitely recommend this one. It is beautiful and I like that it’s all black as well.By the way, if you get put off by the writing on the bow (I was really fussy about it and almost didn’t buy the bow for this reason) it’s easy to scrape it off with a fingernail.I’ve been playing with this bow for about 3 months now and didn’t have any problems so far.
