How to choose the right baroque bow?

Finding the perfect baroque bow depends on playing style, balance and material. In this blog we discuss what to look for when buying.

1. Materials and construction

  • Snakewood or Pernambuco : Provides a warm, resonant tone.

  • Ebony frog : Provides stability and control.

  • Authentic design : Based on historical models.

2. Weight and balance

A good baroque bow has a light and balanced construction , allowing for quick and subtle movements.

3. Suitable for which repertoire?

  • Early Baroque music : Lighter bows with less hair.

  • Later Baroque music : Slightly heavier models for more projection.
