This bow has a nice smooth sound and when I cross over strings I watch the tip of this bow to make sure I cross over.... for some reason the tip of this bow is a eye catcher for me when crossing over the strings, but it dose have a very nice sound and the baroque music sounds very baroque with this bow and I have played other genres of music with this bow and the other genres of music sound very nice with this bow too!

A still usable “second” quality bow might show a barely noticeable deviation from straight, but not to the extreme that you can see here

Daughter is really enjoying using it.

The wood work is very well done, perfectly round, with a little straight cut under where your thumb goes

The bow feels light and bouncy, very responsive on the violin, although it feels much heavier than expected in the hand

Better if you save and get a better bow though.

I was a little skeptical about buying a cheap bow here, but decided to give it a try based on the reviews

, however this may be the best cheap baroque now available from Amazon or eBay, don't expect authenticity however it is good for period performances.

I don't see any blemishes or rough surfaces
