Water Violet full mount Fully mounted Pernambuco violin bow, hand made in Brazil by C. Santos, 61.5 grams
Water Violet We usually have good stocks of these excellent quality bows from Brazil. I consider these to be the best quality bow for the advancing player looking to invest in a good playing stick.
Price wise these are very good value starting at around £250. The cheaper bows in their range are made by hand but using fine Pernambuco wood.  The cost saving is made by the use of German quality fittings.
