Pernambuco VS Carbon Fiber Bows

The bow is part of the harmonic system that includes the instrument and the player. 

Carbon fiber bows like a CodaBow tend to have a wide spectrum of response. They will work well on a wide variety of instruments. 

Pernambuco bows enable more specific acoustical matching with better instruments. For a professional, their bow of choice is usually Pernambuco. 

Durability is the primary reason the buy a Carbon Fiber bow. They are excellent student bows, and are great for professionals who need a bow for gig or pit work, or for teaching environments. It is not uncommon for someone to have a beloved Pernambuco bow and a backup bow that is carbon fiber. 

Please visit us online or in our Boulder shop for our wide selection of bows.
