You probably know that the lowest quality bows for violins cannot always be compared to the best. The violin is only half of the story. In order to make the most out of your new violin, you should buy a high-quality bow. This article will discuss the various materials used to make bows: Metal cables, tropical hardwood, Mongolian Horsehair, and many others.
Takedown model
There are many factors that influence the price of a bow. The first is that the bow must not be strung before it can be stored. It will then take up more space when it's reassembled. If you're looking to store your bow conveniently and without purchasing a separate storage box, a takedown retract is the best choice. Many of these bows can easily be assembled without any tools.
Tropical hardwood
There are many options when it comes to tropical hardwood bows. Red oak is one the most economical options. However, it's highly porous, so you have to be very careful when crafting or using it. Look for late-growth rings which are more thick than younger rings and have less bristle to avoid this problem. If you have a smaller budget, you can try to make your own tropical hardwood bow by following the tips mentioned above.
Metal cables
Compound bows have high-modulus, polyethylene (HMP), strings and cables. These are designed to have a high tensile strength and little stretch. Steel cables were long the most used type of bow cable. PSE used teardrops for several years as they were believed to be more efficient. This cable is less durable than its counterpart and can easily be broken.
Mongolian horsehair
Mongolian horsehair bows of the highest quality are often the cheapest. The quality of horsetail can range from being straight and thin to curly and thick. It is vital to know the sorter that was used to select the hair. One supplier may have a "best Mongolian mare stallion". Another might have something completely different. Top bow makers will purchase cheaper unsorted Hanks and then sort them.
Carbon fiber
Consider buying a carbon-fiber violin bow if you're in search of a new one. This bow won't cause any harm to your violin strings because of its lightness and stiffness. It is also resistant to stick curve deformation. Carbon fiber is a great material for bows because it doesn't shrink or contract like wood and isn't affected by temperature and humidity.
Bows for sale
One of the best ways to save money is to buy a bow used. There are many models in great condition that can be found at affordable prices. However, before you decide to buy one, there are certain factors that you need to keep in mind. The first is the cost of tuning the bow. This is an option if you are able to afford it. It is important to take care of your bow.
