You may have noticed that even the most affordable bows for violins don't always compare with the best quality. The violin is only half of the story. High-quality bows are essential to get the most from your new violin. The following article will look at some of the different materials used in making bows: Tropical hardwood, Metal cables, Mongolian horsehair, and much more.
Takedown model
A variety of factors affect the cost of a taking down bow. First of all, the bow must be unstrung before you can store it, and then it will take up more space when it is reassembled. A takedown rifle is an excellent choice for storage if you don't want to purchase a separate box. Some of these bows can be easily assembled without tools.
Tropical hardwood
There are many different wood types that tropical hardwood bows can be made from. Red oak is one the most economical options. However, it's highly porous, so you have to be very careful when crafting or using it. To avoid this problem, look for late-growth rings that are relatively thick and that have less bristle than the younger growth rings. If you have a smaller budget, you can try to make your own tropical hardwood bow by following the tips mentioned above.
Metal cables
Compound bows have high-modulus, polyethylene (HMP), strings and cables. These are designed to have a high tensile strength and little stretch. Steel cables were for a long time the most popular type of bow cable. PSE used teardrops for a few years because they were faster. This cable is less durable than its counterpart and can easily be broken.
Mongolian horsehair
The best Mongolian horsehair bows are usually the most affordable. Horsetails can have different qualities. Some are straight and thin, while others are curly and dense. The quality of horsetail depends on the typer used to choose it. A supplier might claim to have the "best Mongolian stallion", but it could mean something entirely different. Top bowmakers will purchase unsorted hanks at a lower price and then sort them.
Carbon fiber
A carbon fiber bow might be the best option for you if your looking to buy a new violin. This bow is strong and lightweight, and won't cause any string damage. It can also reduce stick curve deformation. Carbon fiber is an ideal material for bows. Because it doesn’t expand or contract as wood does, and it isn’t affected by temperature or humidity changes, carbon fiber is also very stable.
Used bows
Buying a used bow is one of the cheapest ways to get a high-quality instrument. You can find a lot of models that are in excellent condition at low prices. However, before you decide to buy one, there are certain factors that you need to keep in mind. First of all, you should consider the price of tuning the bow. It is a smart decision to spend a little more on the bow tuning if you have the funds. Also, take into account how you will care for the bow.
