Construction

The violin, viola and cello bows share the same core materials and fittings, helping to keep the range simple and consistent.

Composite stick 70% carbon-fibre construction.

Coruss bow hair Premium synthetic alternative to horsehair.

Nickel mountings Paired with an ebony frog and slide.

Synthetic lapping Completed with a one-piece button.

Getting started with synthetic bow hair

Synthetic bow hair takes rosin slightly differently from traditional horsehair.

For the first application, use a slightly stickier rosin than you would normally use to charge the hair. Once the hair is prepared, rosin it as usual.
