A decent quality bow. Good carving, transition from octagonal to round, good grip, and rigidity and flexibility.A minor issue, but the winding could be better. It doesn’t use a wrap but instead tucks the wire under itself to tighten it. This wouldn’t be an issue if they slipped the wire underneath the full 5cm length, but they stopped at 1mm. It’ll unravel sooner rather than later, and has already begun to loosen after two weeks of playing. An easy fix, but I shouldn’t need to at this price.The only glaring issue with this bow is the bow hair. It is of cheap make and the hairing is sloppy and uneven, leading to many loose strands.The bow is good and I recommend it—but get it rehaired.

This is a wonderful bow to try out. The weight is pretty decent so I can do my fast bowing with ease, and with the carbon fiber I do not need to worry about breaking it as much. The black color goes well with my natural wood viola, or my white electric one. I would recommend adding it to your bow collection if you do not have very many.

As soon as I took this bow out, I recognized it immediately; I own two of them, a bass and cello. I was paying $120-150 each for the same damned bow as this one lol from another company. I imagine this is like a lot of products that show up on Amazon; a lot of people selling them under their own brand.It's a good bow and a nice upgrade if you bought a cheap viola outfit and want a better bow for not a lot of cost. For $40? No brainer. Mine weighs 70g, and the wooden bow that came with my viola weighs 70g, but this one balances soooo much better. It just plays the instrument better, in my opinion.I think that it's also more attractive :)
