A handcrafted bow offering rich tone and nuanced control.
The Brazilwood Violin Bow provides violinists an artfully crafted tool for nuanced expression. Handmade from select pernambuco wood and high-quality horsehair, this bow delivers a warm, resonant tone with sensitive responsiveness.
Pernambuco Stick Offers Rich, Warm Tone
At the heart of this bow is a handcrafted pernambuco wood stick. Pernambuco is prized for violin bows due to its density, strength and ability to transmit subtle variations in technique into the tone produced. The pernambuco stick gives this bow a rich, warm tone with complex overtones.
Octagonal Shape Provides Comfortable, Controlled Grip
The octagonal shape of the stick is designed to sit comfortably and securely in the hand, giving violinists close control over the bow's movement and pressure. The eight-sided contour prevents the bow from rolling or slipping, allowing for a firm, balanced grip even during energetic passages.
Silver and Ebony Fittings Provide Smooth Response
The bow's frog, slide and other fittings are made of ebony and silver, materials chosen for their ability to glide smoothly across the strings. The ebony frog, where the horsehair is attached to the stick, allows the hair to flex and move with minimal friction. The silver slide and ferrule provide an elegant accent and help transmit the subtle variations in pressure and movement to the strings.
Natural Horsehair Produces Full, Resonant Tone
The bow is strung with high-quality horsehair, a traditional material prized for its ability to grip and vibrate the violin strings. The horsehair transmits the nuances of technique into full, resonant notes across the instrument's range. Violinists will appreciate the bow's sensitive responsiveness and tonal qualities.
