Carbon Fiber Bows
VIOLIN VIOLA CELLO BASS
With the increasing scarcity and export restrictions placed on pernambuco wood, carbon fiber bows occupy an important position in the string world. Well made carbon fiber bows are strong and exceedingly well balanced. Many teachers prefer them in beginning outfits on account of their reliability and superior playing characteristics over inexpensive wood bows. Furthermore, the best quality carbon fiber bows can approximate the sound and response of a fine pernambuco bow at a fraction of the cost, making them an attractive choice for both students and professionals.

Since the early part of the 19th century pernambuco from Brazil has been recognized as the only acceptable wood for crafting a fine quality bow. Pernambuco bows are strong, resilient, and responsive, and they allow an adept player to perform with great sensitivity and artistry. Most players will agree that the tonal qualities of a good pernambuco bow can not be matched by any other bow materials.
