(More customer reviews)I would not recommend buying this bow. When it came in the mail the wood was warped so much that it wasn't even close to being straight. On top of that it was cracked right in the middle. You're better off buying something else.

Glaesel GL-2213-4 4/4 Brazilwood Violin Bow Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace my old low-budget bow, and it's been a success in every way. It's smooth, draws a nice tone, and feels good in the hand. My only complaint is Musician's Friend's shipping department almost killed it- it was loose inside a very large box. It's just lucky that it wasn't damaged. Ordinarily they are an excellent vendor, so hopefully this was just a bad day for the shipping dept. The bow itself is an excellent value and gets a big thumbs-up.
Don't use the usual junky old box rosin; spend a few bucks more on a good-quality cake rosin.

Karl Willhelm Carbon Fiber Violin Bow, 4/4 Size Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bow would have been disappointing even if I had paid half the price. The workmanship was sloppy. The tip was slightly malformed, and didn't have the pretty shape it should have. There was glue smeared on the silver wrap. The hair on the bow was very sparse, about 3/4 of the amount one would expect. When played, I did not notice anything special about the carbon filament. My recommendation: buy one of the $30 bows sold on the internet instead of this one, you will get a better quality product.

Bellafina Better Quality Violin Bow, 4/4 Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had 3/4 of a ship in my back yard. So I found this for sale advertising "4/4" for the bow size. I'm thinking, "Hurray, the missing piece to make my 3/4 of a ship, 4/4!" So this arrives. I'm shocked. I shrug my shoulders an attach it to the front anyway. Immediately after cast off my ship sunk into my back yard. My dog had been on board at the time. This product is great for killing your dog on a ship. It's also a great violin bow.

Londoner Bows Three Star Violin Bow, Octagonal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In my search for a quality bow for my daughters new violin I purchased this bow to test. It did surprisingly well. My budget was under $500 (which has changed after these trials).
Testers were my daughter (novice) and our violin teacher (expert). The violin teacher also compared them to her $2500 bow. These didn't even come close to her bow.
Bows in the trial (Ranked in the order of preference):
(We used Pirazzi rosin on an unmarked German violin)
1st: Londoner Three Star Pernambuco Bow (about $330) 60g
2nd: CodaBow Diamond NX (about $355) 62g
3rd: Arcos Brasil Pernambuco Nickel Mount bow (3 different makers) (about $400-450) 61-62g
4th: CodaBow Prodigy (about $265) 62g
5th: Arcos Brasil Carbon Fiber Braided (about $180-225)
6th: Arcos Brasil Carbon Fiber non-braided (about $140-180)
Our current bow is a Brazilwood Leon Glasser? bow (sorry stamp is worn down, can only read LEON GLAS--- stamp).
We were looking for a well balanced bow with good feel and better sound than the existing Glasser bow. Unfortunately none of the bows exceeded the Glasser bow's sound quality however the Londoner 3 star and the Codabow Diamond NX did at least match the sound. Both the Londoner and the Coda NX was almost the same as the Glasser bow and the violin teacher couldn't choose between the three (Londoner, Coda NX and Glasser). All others (Arcos Brasil, Codabow Prodigy) were losers to the Glasser.
The Londoner had the best feel and balance. The Coda NX was slightly off balance. Both have are about equal in sound.
The Arcos Brasil bows had good feel but didn't match the sound. However there was an Arcos bow that did not have good feel and lesser sound.
The Codabows won the Carbon Fiber bows contest with the Diamond series outshining many including the Prodigy, as it should. The Arcos Carbon Fibers were the worst in this group but not terrible.
If we had a lesser bow, we would have stuck with the Londoner. Instead, I'll have to change my budget to hopefully find some better options.
A word of advise, always trial the bow you plan on buying (or buy from a site/store with a generous return policy). Its been a great service and really helps compare what you have to what you're buying.
At this point, I'm going to go test the Codabow Diamond GX and Joule. Based on the NX's performance, I'm expecting them to be much better (but at a cost).
Hope this helps someone with their difficult task in finding the perfect bow!

Presto Carbon Fiber Violin Bow Black 4/4 Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought I was getting my son something special when I purchased this bow for him, especially after reading the glowing description in the Shar catalog. Sure, it is made of carbon fiber, but the manufacturer cuts corners by fitting the bow with synthetic hairs, instead of genuine horse hair. We hated this. The synthetic hairs do not absorb and hold the rosin. My son, who is a very skilled intermediate player and practices about an hour a day, needed to rosin his bow 2 times a day because it would fly off so fast while he was playing his pieces. For goodness sake, his violin looks like its been snowed upon after every practice. The mechanics of the bow were alright, just very chintzy of this company to use synthetic hairs. I can get real horsehair in a cheap $25 bow, but not this bow. Anyway, 2 months was enough to put up with this. He has since moved on to another bow.

Bow-Right for Violin, Medium (1/2-1/4 Violin) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am wondering if the other reviewer actually tried this item?
I used this on both my kids and it worked for both of them. I did previously try the pencils, the straws and even pipe cleaners.
The problem with those other alternatives:
The straws BEND and fall out, and the pencils are so rigid they do not fit into the f-holes properly AND they can damage the f-hole shape. The bowright's 2 wires provide a STRAIGHT, sturdy PATH for the bow to follow. That is what is missing in those other alternatives.
Some bonuses that I realized as well were the following:
Quicker, closer to the strings, bow circles for songs like Allegro and others where you pick up the bow and start at the frog again. A sound-sensitive way of learning to keep the bow straight. When my kids would hear the ticking of the metal from their bows hitting it, they reacted instantaneously with better bowing until there was no sound.
In addition, I used this size on my younger child's 1/8 violin and it fit fine. My older child has a 1/2 violin.
So BRAVO for the Bowright, I love what it did for my kids and highly recommend it.

I've only been playing for about 4 months, so I don't have experience with a wide range of bows or with expensive bows. My Glasser bow plays well on my old violin, and I like using it. Out of all my beginner bows, this is definitely my favorite.
