Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bow suitable for a child?
Yes, size 1/2 is specifically designed for children who play a violin of that same size, generally recommended for ages between 6 and 10 years old, depending on the child's height and arm length.
What material is the rod made of?
The stick is described as "heavy-duty," which is typical of student bows. These bows are usually made of durable woods like Brazilwood or composite materials designed to withstand heavy use.
Does the ebony nut require any special care?
Ebony is a very durable wood that requires no special care. It is recommended to keep it clean and dry, like the rest of the bow, and avoid overtightening the screw to prevent damaging the mechanism.
Are the manes natural or synthetic?
Although the manufacturer doesn't specify it, student bows in this range typically use natural horsehair, which provides good string grip. It's important to apply rosin to the horsehair before playing.
