Beginner Bows
K.Holtz • FG — Fiberglass Bows
A beginning player should not have to make a large investment in his or her first bow. At the same time, it is unrealistic to expect inexperienced players to excel if they are forced to play with poorly balanced, weak, or warped bows. K.Holtz FG bows require no compromise
—they are designed with beginning players’ specific needs and budgets in mind. These strong, well-balanced, attractive bows produce a smooth, clear sound without a lot of physical effort from the player. And with K.Holtz FG bows, players can invest their efforts in improving their playing without having to invest a lot of money in their bows.
Samuel Eastman — Brazilwood Bows
The Samuel Eastman name has come to be synonymous with unsurpassed tone and hand-craftsmanship in student instruments. Samuel Eastman bows offer the same level of quality in materials, craftsmanship, and
playability. Each of our Samuel Eastman bow models starts with quality materials, and is hand-crafted for ideal weight, balance, and strength.
We tried…but we couldn’t think of a reason why a good sounding carbon composite bow shouldn’t also be a lot of fun to use! That’s why, after we made sure our K.Holtz Carbon bows had excellent playing and tonal qualities, we decided to offer them in seven brilliant colors. Although their bold appearance was conceived with the student player in mind, we have been pleasantly surprised to hear how popular they have become with professional players as well.
Andreas Eastman — Pernambuco Bows
Andreas Eastman bows are all entirely hand-crafted of genuine aged pernambuco wood. Three models are available, two with nickel mountings, and one in silver.
There is an age-old question: How can you get a bow that is durable, handles easily, and produces a great sound, all without spending a fortune? The answer is Cadenza bows! An independent review in STRINGS magazine found Cadenza bows to be "...a good value for all players." and one reviewer exclaimed: "I think they are incredible".
Master Bows
In a tiny village in the German state of Saxony, Master Bowmaker Steffen Kuhnla and his journeyman assistant craft artist bows from select pernambuco in the centuries-old German tradition. Mr. Kuhnla received his Master’s Certificate in 1988, thus joining a small group of elite bowmakers in history who can claim this honor. Respected by players for his understanding of bow balance, weight, and strength, and by other bowmakers and bow aficionados for the exquisite detail and precision of his work, Mr. Kuhnla has made bows for professional players throughout Europe, Asia, and America.
