Depending on your requirements and expectations we recommend the following bows:

Main Application	Recom. Category (minimum)*
Soloists	Cadenza gold
Section leader	Cadenza silver
Chamber music	Cadenza silver / Concerto
Prof. Orchestra	Concerto, possibly Sinfonia or Allegro
Advanced students	Sinfonia or Concerto
Advanced Amateurs	Allegro or Sinfonia
Folk music	Sonata, pos. Veloce
Students	Veloce or Sonata
Amateurs	Veloce

* The recommended categories of bows fulfil the given requirements entirely. Rarely will a musician decide for a model below his indicated category. On the other hand quite often a bow from a higher category will be acquired, when the advantage in the beauty of sound can be afforded within an existing budget.
