Best Roth & Junius RJB Carbon Cello Bow 1/2 BK Alternatives

Based on 1 reviews

Carbon bows are usually a bit lighter, and I was afraid this one would be too, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it was actually more similar by weight to wooden bows than to standard carbon bows. I prefer playing with carbon in orchestra, but now I use this one also for solo and for chamber music because it provides great tone and is very, very comfortable to hold. The string gives the contact immediately. Works very good on various bow strokes (detasche, martele, spiccato, staccato). Forte's work very good, piano's a bit less good though. The hair on the bow is also very good, minimum fall-outs. Overall, for this price I'm verry happy with the bow and will definately recommend to coleagues and friends.

I have played cello for 20+ years since I was a toddler, quit after I had kids and recently came back to the hobby. I was looking for an inexpensive, dependable bow to see if I will start practising again. Very happy with the bow for the price. I would have to improve my playing a lot to see benefits of a more expensive bow.

I am using this bow on my cello, erhu and divina, each one of them has different kind of strings. After a month of intense training not one single broken hair, even though I often played often rather hard. The bow looks handsome, solid construction and the screw stays put. For me a keeper.

Not the best, not the worst. It does the job i want it to do pretty well, but it feels like it could break on me sometimes. I've already broken a few hairs on it. If you're looking for a cheap bow to practice with or as a backup, this could be the one.
