Artino Baroque Snakewood Violin Bow

I am a teacher and performer of violin – standard classical as well as baroque performance practice. After some research I decided to order this snakewood baroque bow (it's 68 cm, and 55g, with natural horsehair, for those interested). I have small early baroque pernambuco bow with a clip frog from a Slovakian maker, however I felt I needed a longer baroque bow, and so I became interested in this Artino baroque bow. I love the historic concave shape, the effect it has on the sound, the colors, as well as the feel of holding it baroque style. After tightening it up and carefully giving it its first thorough rosining, I found that the sound and feel is quite nice, and a good contrast to my other bows. I highly recommend this bow to players of all levels, for better performance of works by baroque composers like Bach, Leclair, Biber. Tartini, and more. In sum, excellent bow for an excellent price.
