Key Features
A bow you can rely on. The Glasser Carbon Graphite Violin Bow is built to last with durable carbon graphite material, which, given its strength, is unlikely to crack or snap, so it's brilliant for students who need a bow that will see them through a long playing career. The gloss finish paired with the black colour of carbon gives the bow a sleek, modern look.
Practise in comfort. Detailed with a flamed abalone slide and double eye, the frog adds to the bow's overall sophisticated look. But beyond being visually pleasing, the ebony material used for the frog makes the bow comfortable to hold, being a strong, hard surface. The nickel silver winding complements this and stays in excellent condition despite contact with your hand. Feel confident practising for hours with the Glasser Carbon Bow.

Carbon is a true all-rounder when it comes to stick material. It gives the bow a sleek, sophisticated look, while also providing serious durability and resilience. First of all, it's strong, so it will endure any bumps or drops and is very unlikely to snap. Whereas wood can snap or crack at the tip, carbon's strength means your bow is unlikely to break. For this reason, carbon bows are ideal for students, and loved by professionals too, as you are less likely to need to replace your bow and can play with confidence.
Beyond strength, carbon is resistant to changes in temperature. Whereas wood can expand or contract in heat, carbon can withstand varying temperatures and humidity without warping - and warping can impact the bow's balance. This means carbon bows are popular among players who might perform outside, but also for any players who want to ensure that their bow maintains its balance and stable structure no matter the conditions. This gives you the stability you need to produce a beautiful sound on your violin, as you'll be in full control of your bow's movements; you can play loudly or softly without needing to worry about your bow's performance. Rely on your Glasser carbon graphite bow.
Glasser has considered the details that add to a bow's comfort, appearance and ability to create a great sound. Ebony is the perfect material for the frog because it has a firm, dense feel. The frog won't require any varnish thanks to ebony's natural oils, making it the perfect surface for contact with your thumb. Embedded in the ebony frog is a beautiful flamed abalone slide and eye - details which add up to create an attractive, professional overall look.
Hold your bow in comfort thanks to the nickel silver taping. This metal is durable and remains in great condition despite the fact it has a lot of contact with your hand. The extra padded grip adds to your comfort when holding your bow - which is especially ideal if you're rehearsing or practising for long sessions. You'll be able to maintain a rich tone throughout these sessions because of the Glasser Carbon Graphite Bow's quality, natural hair.
