Anton Breton AB-100 Student Violin Bow, Natural, 4/4 Size

It’s a cheap bow. I got it for my little girls just starting out and it’s fine for that purpose. However, it’s a little longer than the first bow she had and doesn’t fit well in her case so be aware of that.

I purchased this for my son’s violin class. He has yet to complain and states that it works great. Seems really nice and sturdy. I think I’ll definitely get my money’s worth out of this! Certainly recommend.

I ordered this May 12. I'm over 50, and just learning to play violin. I'm brand new to the music world, didn't even know what notes were. So that's why I went for a $20 bow on-line. It is meant for my enjoyment because I just want to hear the instrument whenever I want. I don't want to be a world-class solo violinist.So on to the bow. It started out decently enough. When I bow the strings it produces sound. But I noticed not more than a month ago some hairs were getting looser and looser. There's 4 or 5 hairs that are drooping off the bow, it's annoying when I play. I all ready want to invest in a better bow. I don't trust that this bow will have hair left in a year. I think it's time I start saving up for a cheap $500 bow. One that's WORTH getting re-haired. I'm just not happy with this bow.

I received four extra bows.

Shipping was faster than expected.For the price, this is a really great value.The hair was of sufficient quantity (It's held up very well over the last two months) and the bow is straight.This is more than can be said of the more expensive bows I've purchased here.I wish that the bow had a little bit more bend and that the hair had a bit fewer cross hairs, but then I would expect to paying much more.As it was this is far better than I expected. I would order this again.
