Bows

A violin bow is much more than just an indispensable accessory. Its essential contribution to the violin's sound is a well-known secret still underestimated by many players. Or, in the words of maestro Giovanni Battista Viotti: \"Le violon, c'est l'archet.\" Choosing an adequate bow that suits both the player and instrument can be a challenging task, and it calls for a broad spectrum of good violin bows to select from. View our large selection of violin bows ranging from good quality antique students bows to rare premium products made by historical masters, including John Dodd, W.E. Hill & Sons and Eugène Nicolas Sartory, Paris.
