David Bromberg once showed me a bow from the 18th century that costs $150,000. "Nice!" I to​ld him, "But how am I gonna replace it​ if some drunk steps on it?" This one works much better for me. And I don't have to Mortgage my house.

Decent quality for casual home use. Would probably be good for a student, but it doesn't feel very professional quality.

Well made, sturdy bow which produces good sound quality. Lightweight and plays well. Great value for the money spent.

Bought it for my granddaughter, she has tried it seems to be fo good quality!

Wrote a previous review, but it hasn't been added yet, so I can't edit it. This second review will have to do.First bow arrived bent. Sighting down the bow (4/4) from the frog, the last 4-5 inches at the tip took a left turn that had the tip off center .75"-1". Returned for refund.Second bow arrived and it had the same problem....except worse. This second bow started being warped about one third of the distance from the frog...and this warp was combo, a slight warp to the right, then another left turn that put the tip at least 1" out.Both bows were examined loose and tightened, and no, I did not over-tighten the bow. Decades ago I played cello in school, so this ain't my first rodeo. There seems to be zero quality control and when a product is this defective and the listing says the product is "suitable for professional use", well, something somewhere is..........sub-optimal. Second return only allowed for refund, so I'm trying a 1/2 from another seller. Going for a smaller one because I will be using it on electric guitar a la Jimmy Page.Both seemed to be taking a heck of a lot of rosin, but that could just be my memory of how to do things.Best part of the product was the shipping. Rocket fast, but like others have said, it comes as a bow-in-a-box. No packing materiel, just a 6" x 6" x36" box with the bow loose inside.Give it a shot if you're feeling lucky, but even though I was willing to let the seller go for 3 strikes, the seller only allowed 2 strikes, so,,,,,they're out on 2 strikes.Not at all recommended.

This is a fine bow for the money, those who complain they can't get sound are experiencing user error and should find an experienced teacher. I am shocked how many serious violinists I've met in my life who don't know this: that rosin is dried pine sap. Its purpose is to be applied as a dust to to the bow to facilitate creation of sound by friction. It doesn't magically get there by rubbing a dried cake on the hair. You need to use sand paper and sand the rosin. Or if desperate use a pocket knife or similar and scuff the rosin surface before you apply to the bow. This bow is great and was sent well packaged. Would be fine for any hobbyist, student, or casual player. Can't beat the price. Good balance and comfort.

I’ve had this item for less than 6 months and it’s already fraying. I have only used it 5 times…
