Brazilwood Bows
Buying A Replacement Bow For My Violin?
So my violin bow has been losing a lot of hair in the past few months, and the coil of the bow has been loose since last year, and is now currently being held with tape.
My teacher suggested buying another bow, and my aunt told me that I could buy a bow on Amazon– with the costs paid by herself.
Problem is, I’m not sure which bow is durable, and which one isn’t.

Those are the two bows I’m currently deciding on. >_>
Which would you recommend to purchase?
Yes, I realize they are for 3/4 bows, because I play a 3/4 violin.
I looked at both of the bows and they both seem to be 3/4 size bows! If you are currently playing a three quarter size violin, they may be appropriate, but if you are playing a full size instrument, you should get a full size bow (just a little more length) to go with it.

I understand that many times it is more expensive to get a bow rehaired than it is to buy a new one, but you should call the luthiers (as well as ask your teacher) if there are any luthiers in the area that rehair bows for a reasonable fee.
Your “Winding” can also be rewrapped by the same luthier if the bow is a good one. If the bow is inexpensive, it may not be worth it of course
Best of luck no matter what you decide to do and I hope this helps.
