Glasser Carbon Graphite Violin Bow 4/4

Cheap looks and not worth the price to my meaning. Simple and ugly frog (not full mounted), rubber thumbgrip, Thick and ugly stick. The hairing seems to be of not so good quality. There are better, and cheaper alternatives available. I would easily recommend the C:DIX carbon violin bow over this one which is both cheaper, has better handling characteristics and better sound.

If you like a light bow this bow might suit. My scale showed 59 grams. The sound is scratchy and harsh even with good quality rosin.

I have used this bow for a half year now as my beginner bow, and while it looks very nice and doesnt sound bad in any way it is a bit on the light side. My teacher recommended me to stop using it as soon as possible..
I suppose it could be usefull in cases you need a light jumpy bow but i will be following his advice.
One problem i noticed myself is that the screw on the end does not stick very well, and i would normally have to tighten the hairs once or twice in a practice session (1-2 hours) which does get very tedious.
