Gewa Fiddle / Viola da Gamba Bow

Good beginner baroque bow

It's a cheap baroque bow and that's what you get.

Its ideal for people that don't want to spend a lot on a first baroque bow, but after a few months, its limits will be shown.

Very good upgrade from stock bow

This is a great upgrade from the cheap stock bow that came free with my instrument. It has definately helped me move on a level in my beginner’s playing and the baroque look really suits.

I bought this bow as a starter bow. As a Historical Music student at the University,i'm familiar with historical bows .The bow is perfect for a beginner in baroque music and in my opinion very good for a basic baroque style playing. Very light bow and very good crafted ( they are handmade by GEWA Professional Luthiers). The bow is perfect for playing fast passages and long notes as well. The bow responded to all articulation techniques very well. Although the bow is not a professional bow.

Good beginner baroque bow

For a budget bow it works fine. Sound and articulation for baroque music are done naturally. The bow hair that comes with the bow is not of good quality, but this is normal for bows of this price.
