Thank you for viewing. This is a lightweight, high-strength carbon fiber violin bow. With pernambuco wood becoming difficult to obtain, carbon bows are attracting attention as an alternative, and it is a material that is expected to become increasingly popular in the future. Because it is made of carbon, it is resistant to humidity and temperature changes, and can be used with confidence for outdoor performances and col legno techniques. Due to its high durability, it is also recommended for practice and as a sub-bow. My personal experience is that it feels as good as or better than a wooden bow in the 50,000 yen class. When I had a fellow orchestra member try it out, they said, "I thought this was a 500,000 yen bow." Please give it a try. It will be carefully packed and shipped.
