The Bows

To fulfill all the various requirements of advanced musicians we have developed three different lines of bows that feature specially designed sticks:

1. The Concerto Line

These bows fulfill the highest demands in playing performance and sound. They offer unique agility and power. Their sound spectrum contains a full, round dark basis and an astonishing range of overtones, while producing almost no noise. 

The sticks are classified according to their resonance quality. The resiliency of the sticks is almost double that of a traditional bow, while the total weight of the bow is about 20% reduced. They are available both with round and octagonal sticks.

The vast potential of the Concerto-line requires a well advanced playing technique but also several days of exploring its characteristics.

A little less demanding, balancing power and comfort perfectly and matching the performance of the finest classical bows:

2. The Allegro

These bows offer an especially well balanced round and full sound and uniquely relaxed and direct feel. They are ideal bows for playing in an ensemble and occasional solo work. Because of their straightforward handling we recommend them especially for advanced amateurs.

The Allegro features all round sticks. They are slightly more elastic than the Concerto-line. Their weight is 10-15% below traditional bows.

A very special offer for advancing students:

3. The Veloce

To achieve optimum results in studying bowed instruments a bow that is free of faults is one of the most important points. We have designed the Veloce to be a bow that is especially easy to handle and which makes it easy to perform all bowings to perfection. Besides they deliver a very pleasant, full and warm sound.

In weight and resiliency the Veloces are halfway between the Allegro and traditional bows. The sticks are always round.
