Product Description

fiddlerman carbon fiber violin bow

fiddlerman carbon fiber violin bow

We have tested hundreds of affordable violin bows and chosen this as our favorite. In our opinion, much better than any inexpensive Pernambuco violin bow! Weight is approximately 60 grams. This Black Fiddlerman Carbon Fiber Violin Bow is manufactured to replicate the perfect weight and curve of an expensive Pernambuco wood bow. If you're spending less than four times this amount on a bow, we recommend you go with a Fiddlerman Carbon Fiber Bow. Anything short of a quality wood bow will most likely not give you the right weight distribution or curve. We prefer this bow over the Presto Violin Bows. Many times better than the lasalle violin bows, of course. Perfect violin bow upgrade if you have purchased a Kremona, Stentor, Mendini, or Cecilio outfit. High quality hand made Fiddlerman carbon fiber composite violin bow. Nicely decorated copper mounted ebony frog. Quality Mongolian horse hair. Great balance. Very nice arch with good bounce and action. Rosin has never touched this bow. Use your own favorite violin rosin. Full size violin bow 4/4 Fiddlerman Carbon Fiber Violin Bow Black Violin Bow.

Customers like the quality of the bow. They say it looks like a quality bow, is a big step up in quality and refinement, and is good for a young player. The frog, grip pad, and winding are well-made, and the construction is very solid. The bow has no weak spots and holds up to serious humidity. Customers also mention that it's an incredibly powerful tool for navigating that instrument.

"...But found it I did, and I couldn't be happier with this. It's a very good bow." Read more

"...No. It is priced and manufactured very appropriately for a beginner to intermediate player. It produces a very clear tone and is decently balanced...." Read more

"...so I thought that the fiddlerman bow was definitely a big step up in quality and refinement compared to the old glasser carbon fiber...." Read more

"...Update: No problems at all -- the bow held up to serious humidity and relatively damp late-night playing throughout a festival weekend...." Read more

265 customers mention237 positive28 negative

Customers like the appearance of the stringed instruments. For example, they say the bow itself is attractive, looks fine, and is well-haired. Customers also mention that the bow box was very nice and the frog is very sexy looking. They say the case has a built-in hygrometer and the mother of pear inlay adds a nice touch. Overall, customers are satisfied with the appearance and quality of the product.

"...In short, it's a dream to use, and before I knew it, a half hour had passed with me just jamming on the violin...." Read more

"...an affordable quality bow and I believe this one is a very reasonable selection for a beginner such as myself...." Read more

245 customers mention245 positive0 negative

Customers find the value of the bow to be astonishingly good for the money. They say the quality is very good, and it is much cheaper than what it would cost to replace their good bow.

197 customers mention170 positive27 negative

Customers like the sound quality of the stringed instruments. For example, they mention the tone quality is every bit as good as that produced by $500 bows on slow tunes, it sings beautifully, and the difference can be both felt and heard. The fluidity of the tone across the whole hair length makes it easy to pull a nice strong tone. That said, some appreciate the less bow hiss and better handling.

"...It produces a very clear tone and is decently balanced...." Read more

"...I am using it with an electric violin by Kennedy and it works and sounds just fine and better than the wooden bow came with it...." Read more

"...It sounds great and at the price point is my favorite bow...." Read more

60 customers mention10 positive50 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the hair loss of the stringed instruments. For example, they mention that they lose at least one hair every time they play. Some say that the bow loses so much hair that about 50% of the hairs came off. That said, some complain that the hair is all over the place and that it loses quite a few hairs breaking in.

"...It was breaking down and half the hair was missing so I went looking for an affordable alternative...." Read more

"...Really the ONLY issue I have with this bow is that I'm losing at least one hair every time I play...." Read more

"...to have the same frog and endpin, similar winding, but the bow and hair are not the same...." Read more

"...Also, my bow has noticeable less hair in the middle compared to the outer edges, but I don't think it has affected my playing...." Read more

The cheaper options on ebay are not the same as the Fiddlerman bow despite similar winding

The cheaper options on ebay are not the same as the Fiddlerman bow despite similar winding
I played the violin for 10 years, quit for 16, and recently started again to play bluegrass with my brother. I had a professional quality pernambuco bow that I paid $550 for in the 90s, but it was warped after 16 years of neglect. I bought the Fiddlerman carbon fiber bow for less money than a recamber and rehair for the pernambuco and sold the pernambuco to a player serious enough to put the money into the fine bow. The fine bow was a bit easier to play spiccato with, perhaps because it weighed only 57g as opposed to 61g for the Fiddlerman on my kitchen scale. (For the record, bow snobs say 57g is too light.) Also, tapping the tip of the bows on my hand produced more vibrations with the fine pernambuco bow, while the Fiddlerman felt almost dead. However, the balance points were the same and it was easy to pull a nice strong tone with the Fiddlerman.Curiosity got the better of me when I saw a bow on eBay for $20 that looked identical to the Fiddlerman bow. Long story short, they're not the same. They appear to have the same frog and endpin, similar winding, but the bow and hair are not the same. The eBay bow weighs 60g and the hair was yellow (perhaps with age?). You can tell the difference visually in the different shape of the tips. The Fiddlerman has a nice weight near the frog when you play. The eBay bow feels a little more evenly distributed. Honestly, I'm not experienced enough to know the correct weight distribution of a bow, but I can feel a difference, and I'm willing to trust that Fiddlerman's bow is 'correct.'One last point is that some carbon fiber bow makers advertised the percentage carbon fiber vs resin and plastic on their bows. I'd love to know the percentage for the Fiddlerman.
