The Giuliani Advanced Viola Bow is carefully handmade from choice pernambuco, a dense, strong, high-quality wood grown in northern Brazil that resists warping. It has a beautiful red hue and is a higher quality than Brazilwood. The hand-carved wood creates a strong bow shaft that offers bounce and exceptional responsiveness. The stick is carved to exact specifications that ensure accuracy and clarity for advanced spiccato techniques. The wood has been hand-selected for its superior grain pattern as well as its ability to draw the warmest tone from your instrument. All Kennedy Violins bows are made with Mongolian horsehair from high elevations. Extremely durable, strong, and long-lasting, its smooth texture creates a similarly smooth, clear, and full tone when drawn over the string.
