Fiberglass is a composite material made by combining glass fibers with a synthetic resin. The fibers provide strength and stiffness, while the resin holds the fibers together and protects them. The advantage is that quality is guaranteed and all bows are virtually identical, while wooden bows can vary in quality. The Animando cello bow is a good choice for both beginning and advanced players. The bow is very stable in balance and produces a clear, warm tone. An additional advantage is that the bow is very robust and can withstand impact.
The Animando® brand is owned by Strijkinstrumentenshop.nl and, thanks to its own imports, is competitively priced compared to other brands of similar bows.
