The Carbondix Standard viola bow is made of carbon material (braided in the core). The advantage of carbon is that the quality is guaranteed and all bows are almost the same, while with wooden bows a distinction in quality is possible. The Carbondix viola 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 and can take a beating. The Carbondix brand is registered in Germany and the bows are produced in China.
