“I've been playing for five months and blamed my problems with my bow hand and arm on being a beginner. I decided to try a carbon fibre bow and I'm so glad I did. The balance is perfect and it's so much lighter. My bow hand posture has improved because the beginner bow I was using was just too heavy for my pinky to control due to my joint pain. Although it doesn't look like a traditional bow, I find this particular bow absolutely beautiful. I don't know whether I'll go back to a wood bow after I've played for a while, but I'm definitely using the Articul as my primary bow for now. Simply For Strings packaged it securely in a tube and the hair was pristine when the bow arrived. I couldn't be happier.”
“I really wasn't sure about buying bows online (without trying it first) but with its Easy Returns offer and great reviews online, I decided to give it a go. I'm so glad I did because I absolutely LOVE this bow! It's light and easy to control. I can now slur without squeaking! My sound has improved so much just from updating my student bow to this bow. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!”
“I am a beginner, however, I did have an old bow that was once probably a very nice old bow, but it had a slight twist in it. I was struggling with it, so decided to replace it. I chose the Articul Carbon Fibre bow, and I love it. It feels fabulous in the hand; my playing has a brighter sound, notes are easier to play clearly and my bowing is much straighter...as I said....I love this bow, it is a joy to play with!!”
“Whether the quality of this bow is superior to the entry level brazilwood student bow or the dimensions enable for better bow hold is unclear to me, however I immediately noticed a crisper quality to my sound”
“My son (doing grade 6) tells me he is very happy with this bow as his backup (current one being re-haired). The price was very reasonable. What else is there to say? Brilliant! *****”
“I was a bit nervous purchasing a non-wood bow as I've never even considered it before.
I'm very impressed with how it plays and there is no compromise on sound. Of course, the price is hard to beat too!”
