Frequently Asked Questions
For what age is a 1/4 size violin bow recommended?
A 1/4 size bow is generally suitable for children between 5 and 7 years old. The best way to be sure is to measure the length of the child's outstretched arm from the shoulder to the middle of the palm; if the measurement is around 47 cm, this is the correct size.
Does the bow come ready to use?
Yes, the bow comes assembled. However, as with any new bow, you will need to apply rosin to the hair before its first use so that it can produce sound when you draw it across the strings.
What material are the bristles made of?
Student bows like the OVB25 typically use durable synthetic bristles or natural horsehair. Both types are effective for learning, offering a good grip and longevity.
How should this bow be cared for and maintained?
To keep the bow in good condition, it's important to loosen the horsehair after each use by turning the screw at the butt of the bow. It's also recommended to clean the stick with a soft, dry cloth to remove any rosin residue and avoid touching the horsehair with your fingers.
