AMZZ Superior Brazilwood 4/4 Violin Bow – Handmade, Well-Balanced with Ebony Frog & White Horsehair for Intermediate & Advanced Violin Players

Good price for a beginning violin player

Its a good high quality bow, for a good price. It sounds good, it light, and it looks nice. No complaints here

The violin bow looks good. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a replacement bow since I'm a beginner on violin. This will suffice for a while. The packaging should have been better. It was delivered in a huge box with an 18 lb bag of dog-food. The bow could have easily been damaged but thankfully it wasn't. This item should be packaged in a stand-along BOX and delivered separately. Shame on Amazon.

Despite many reviews warning of the low quality and functionality of this product, there were so many seemingly positive reviews that I presumed the negative reviews were from older inventory or just bad luck. That all many be true, but the bow I received was very poorly constructed and nothing like what is pictured. That aside, if it functioned as a violin bow I most likely would have kept it. However, it is so poorly assembled that no amount of tensioning of the bow will tension more than about 10% of the hairs. Even with the bow over-tensioned, the 2/3 of the middle section of the bow is just a bunch of loose hairs. It is not usable as a bow. A few crossed hairs or a few % overly loose could be easily corrected, but even fully tensioned, the hairs in the middle look little different than with the bow completely untensioned. I have to assume that a lot of people who buy this bow and claim their "kids love it", etc., either have no idea how a bow is supposed to work or sound like or got very lucky and received one that works. But the finish on the parts is so abysmal that I am amazed that anyone keeps this product. I have about 6 years of violin playing. I'm far from a pro, but I know how to play and I definitely know how a bow is supposed to work and sound, and this one fails miserably. I highly recommend you look elsewhere for a bow, even for a beginner or a child.

Likes the sturdiness of it and it’s light weight It looks fashionable and has a high quality sound for a low price so I think this is a great deal

Definitely for a beginner or someone just getting back into playing like me.

Stick did not bow a bit under tension. Update While I originally gave this item a one star rating, I was impressed with ease of return. New bow arrived quickly and works very well.

This bow works for me but I would give it a medium rating. It is listed for beginners, which I am
