Is Carbon Fiber Or Wood Better For A Violin Bow?

[@guitargygax]

This was very good. I would have liked to know the price of each. I really liked the string comparison.

[@niallchurch2679]

Good video, string comparison was good too!

I like carbon. I live in a climate that has fluctuating extremes of dry and wet. I've had wood bow heads literally shoot off. Carbon is so much more resistant.

Refreshing. A nice honest review

[@Boothemusic]

Thanks!

I won the lottery when I bought a W.E. Hill bow at an antique shop for almost nothing. It is a World above my Two star Klaus Becker bow which could be considered an excellent bow. But, at a lower price level carbon bows are a great option because dollar for dollar they can be better than a "Brazil wood" bow.

Thank you

Great review, thank you. May I ask the name of the first tune you played? Before Swallowtail... Thank you! (Now that I want both bows...!)

[@mbjsrl]

...should be Ashokan Farewell (suggest you try Jay Ungar's version...)

[@dmichelleh]

Was that the Ludlows theme you initially played? Great job 😊

Wood is warmer

[@niallchurch2679]

They are both acceptable when starting off!

[@Irishceol]

I use both. Wood is warmed but Carbon fibre is consistent and stable as it's not pourous the densitiy is consistent, also the weather not affected@@niallchurch2679

You may have wanted to mention that you had a very cheaply made low-tech carbon bow there. We are making high-end carbon bows (ARCUS) since 1999 and our customers are mostly professional players who consider them a huge step up from their wooden bows.
