User questions & answers

Question:	Is this bow pre-rosined
Answer:	No. I think all bows come without rosin. You will have to get some before it will play your violin. Because the bow is new, you will have to apply the rosin several times before the hairs are powdered enough.
Question:	How long is this bow
Answer:	Exactly the same length as all my other violin bows. My favorite bow!
Question:	Is this the same product that's sold in the Fiddlerman website
Answer:	I don't see anything under Viotti brand on Fiddlerman's website. I can say this is a fine bow at a very fair price.
Question:	Does the bow come with rosin on the bow hair
Answer:	These bows are fresh from the workshop and have not been pre-rosined. Before you can start playing, you will need to apply rosin. To do so, turn the button screw at the bottom of the bow until the hairs have reached your desired tension. Then, take your resin cake and run it up and down the hairs 40-50 times, until you’ve reached your preferred amount. Now you can play with your new bow!

Unbleached Mongolian Horse Hair

When you apply rosin on the bow for the first time the hairs are coming off.

It is normal for a new bow or a bow that has had the hair replaced to lose a few hairs at first.

Most bows have extra hair installed to account for this happening.

User questions & answers

Question:	How would you rate the stiffness of this bow
Answer:	Stiff with a little flex. Nice bow
Question:	Can you send it yo India
Answer:	hello Michael, no we can
Question:	How does your carbon fiber bow compare to a Coda brand carbon fiber bow, which is so much more expensive
Answer:	I recently did a bow trail of the Codabows and here's how I felt it stacked up: Codabow Diamond SX Fiddlerman Bow Codabow Diamond NX And this was with my Fiddlerman bow in DIRE need of a rehair. It felt better than the NX, which is a $400 bow, and only slightly worse than the SX, which is a $500-600 bow. I was able to get almost as much response out of the Fiddlerman to the SX. I will say that the Codabows have nicer components in the frog, the wrap, the winding, and the screw, but I don't feel like they have $360+ better components. I will say I also tried the Luma, but the rehair on my trial Luma was a botch, so I'm not really going to compare it.
Question:	Is this bow carbond fiber or carbon grahpite? Price indicates carbon graphite, and entirely different product
Answer:	This is a Carbon Fiber Composite violin bow. Not Graphite Carbon. It's also not a Carbon Fiber weave bow.
