The bow was not warped and is in very good condition, brand new.

It arrived in perfect packing condition a week after I purchased it

The weight is perfect for me, and it pulls a louder, richer tone from my fiddle than my old one

The weight of the bow is nice and has a good feel so am hoping the shedding stops soon.

I like the weight of the bow and way it handled

gorgeous bow, sounds wonderful, lovely construction, no shoddiness or half done details

Great seller.

A great deal and VERY helpful seller.

Great student bow for the price!

If I was unwilling to spend more, I'd say that this is a good student bow to have.

My student prefers this bow over another bow that I purchased at a local music store.

I read the reviews for this Pernambuco bow and they were somewhat favorable and the price was reasonable, so I took the plunge

I love my new bow, think this new bow improve my play, nice price, excellent materials, love the new sound in my violin

Got it at a cheap price as a spare to practice with.

If the price to value was in any way accurate, this appears to be an excellent buy.

My price was a little better than current listing - try bargaining or shopping.

I do give it one more star than one (two stars), because it does have a nice balance to me, and it was actually an improvement from the kit bow

Overall, the balance of the bow is very very good and can be easier for students who are doing spiccato or any strokes with the bow off the string

Then, not even 3 months since I've gotten it, the tip of the bow decided to break as I’m rehearsing in class

It has a fair balance, but the gap between hair and bow is extremely large when tightened

Though similar to the bows included in my original violin purchase, this one appears to have a somewhat better balance over the length of stroke (which may be just a mental justification for buying what may not have been needed).

so I was taking a chance thiswould get here on time and be of good quality

I received my bow today and it is a Wonderful quality for the price.

The sound quality is really good and it improves the sound of my instrument.

I had to wrap duct tape around it), but just as well it does not retain fine sound quality as it should

The horsehairs-- which, at a glance, you could tell was of poor quality; the hairs were very scarce in the first place-- easily snapped even as I was careful in taking it in and out of my case, and too often, a few would randomly break off as I was practicing; it wasn't even that I was playing “rough” music, either

For the price, it is a great deal, but you are definitely getting what you pay for.

Over all I think it was a really good deal seeing as I only had to pay about forty dollars.

The Pernambuco bows for instance are well balanced, easy to play with all violin techniques, and a great value

These arrived undamaged but the packaging was not wonderful

Unfortunately the tip was split from the stick about 1 inch in

Obviously the tip was unable to withstand the tension of the hairs
