OQAN VIOLIN BOW WITH EBONY FROG 1/4 - Violin Bow
The OQAN Violin Bow with Ebony Frog (1/4 size) is a violin bow specifically designed for students and young musicians using a 1/4 size instrument. Constructed with quality materials, this bow offers an excellent balance of durability, maneuverability, and sound performance, facilitating the learning process from the earliest stages. Its careful design and carefully selected components ensure a clear response and consistent tone production, crucial elements for developing proper technique.
The bow stick is made of Brazilwood , a traditional and very popular choice for student bows due to its excellent combination of flexibility, strength, and moderate weight. This wood allows the student to execute various bowing techniques with greater ease, from soft legato to more energetic staccato, without the fatigue that lower-quality bows can produce. Its balance has been carefully adjusted to provide optimal control over the strings, helping the violinist improve their articulation and dynamics.
