You have probably noticed that bows for violins with lower prices don't always perform as well as those of higher quality. But the violin is only half. You should get the best out of your new violin by buying a quality bow. We will be discussing the various materials that are used to make bows, including tropical hardwood, metal cables, Mongolian horsehair and many other options.
Takedown model
There are several factors that determine the price of a takedown bow. First, the bow must first be untied before you can store or reassemble it. If you're looking to store your bow conveniently and without purchasing a separate storage box, a takedown retract is the best choice. These bows can be assembled quickly and without the use of tools.
Tropical hardwood
There are many different wood types that tropical hardwood bows can be made from. Red oak is the most cost-effective option. Red oak is high-porous, so it can be difficult to work with. This problem can be avoided by looking for thicker late-growth rings with less bristle than those of younger rings. You can also make your own hardwood bow using the tips above, if you have a limited budget.
Metal cables
Compound bows make use of high-modulus Polyethylene (HMP), cables and strings. These are designed to have a high tensile strength and little stretch. Steel cables were the most widely used type for bow cables for a long period. PSE used teardrops for several years as they were believed to be more efficient. However, this cable isn't as durable as the other and can easily snap.
Mongolian horsehair
Mongolian horsehair bows can be of high quality, but the cheapest is often the best. The quality of horsetail can vary from being thin and straight to being curly and thick. It is vital to know the sorter that was used to select the hair. One supplier may have a "best Mongolian mare stallion". Another might have something completely different. Top bow makers will purchase cheaper unsorted Hanks and then sort them.
Carbon fiber
A carbon fiber bow might be the best option for you if your looking to buy a new violin. The carbon fiber material is light and stiff, so this bow won't cause any damage to your violin's strings. The carbon fiber material also minimizes stick curve deformation. Carbon fiber is an ideal material for bows. Because it doesn’t expand or contract as wood does, and it isn’t affected by temperature or humidity changes, carbon fiber is also very stable.
Used bows
The cheapest way to purchase a high quality instrument is to buy a used bow. Many models are available in excellent condition for very low prices. There are a few things you should consider before buying one. First, consider the price of tuning your bow. It is worth spending a little more if you have the money. Care of the bow is another important consideration.
