You can and in most cases should buy a better bow....a nice bow doesn't cost a fortune

Best Violin for student or beginner, all you have to do is to put the bridge in the right palce and adjust the pegs with the right tones, and do not forget to rosin your bow for 5 min at least, and that's it, very nice warm sound, very nice looking violin, the bow is very good for beginners, and the box is very light and easy to carry

The bow has good quality but the rosin is cheap, however it works good for the bow; and the case is formidable, very good and solid, with a pocket for your shoulder rest

The bow is nice but the rosin is cheap

I changed stings, bow and rosin then fine for beginners.

The bow is inferior, the hairs are everywhere.

It is a starter set it comes with a crappy bow, rosin and strings.

Inside the violin case, the bow came loose, the resin was shattered and pieces were everywhere

This violin is all right for a student violin and has a nice tone; however, the bow came warped

Since I wasn't counting on a good bow, I'm a happy customer.

The case is sturdy and the bow so far is sufficient for learning.

But to be fair a bow that comes with a outfit should be useable

The case is also of high quality; the bow was basic, but fine for a beginner

It may be that this cheap wooden bow will warp later on and deteriorate over time--but right now it does a very good job!
