New in the range of String Instrument Shop is the Animando® - Gold Carbon Fiber violin bow. This very nicely made bow is only available for a 4/4 violin. The weight of the bow is 60 grams. The advantage of carbon is that the quality is guaranteed, because all bows are virtually the same, while with wooden bows a distinction is possible in the quality of the wood used. The Animando violin bow is a good choice for beginners and advanced players. The stick is very stable in balance and produces a clear warm tone. An additional advantage is that the stick is very robust, can take a beating and is insensitive to weather conditions. Like all bows from Strijkinstrumentshop.nl, this bow is of course covered with real horsehair. The brand Animando® is the own brand of Strijkinstrumentshop.nl and due to its own import, the bow is favorably priced compared to other brands of carbon bows (available elsewhere on the internet for approx. 160 euros).
