What DOES Matter When You Select a Violin or Viola Bow
Did you know that finding your ideal bow is even more difficult then finding your ideal violin or viola?
With your ideal bow you can achieve more musically and technically.
The more your playing improves, the more you will demand from your bow.
What IS important when looking for a bow?

- round or octagonal
- sound

Hi! I'm Zlata
Let me help you find a great bow for your violin, so you can improve your bowing technique and sound quality:
could you please do a video on the differences between a wood bow,carbon fiber,and fiberglass? I’ve heard carbon fiber is best for electric violins….I use fiberglass ones on mine (Glasser) and I also have wood bows.
I did a video on this topic. Watch it here: https://violinlounge.com/wooden-bow-vs-carbon-fiber-bow-which-to-choose/
