This is the least expensive wooden bow that we’ve tried that actually works properly. There can be small variations in the decorations of the frog and handgrip but this is the basic starting point. They are of Chinese origin and fulfil all the elementary requirements of a bow. In general, with a modest amount of playing and careful handling, they will last for up to  2 years. Unfortunately they cannot easily be rehaired as rehairing costs exceed the replacement cost.

Images are generic, wood grain and colour may vary slightly from bow to bow.
