Pernambuco Bows
I am delighted to announce that the maker of my well-reviewed Brazilwood bows is now making Pernambuco bows available. They are the same fine quality as my Brazilwood bows, and have octagonal Pernambuco sticks with a fully lined ebony frog. The French bows weigh around 125 grams, with the German/Butler at about 132 grams. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not Joe Arco, but they feel very "lively" and precise, but I'll wisely leave that to those better versed (and practiced) in bowing skills - but excellent reviews for my brazilwood bows over the last several years speak for themselves, and these are from the same maker.
All bows have black horsehair, and are considered 3/4 size (but note that there are no strict rules on sizing). The French bow is 27¼ inches end to end, with about a 20¾ inch hair length. The German bow is 29 7/8 inches end to end, with about a 22 3/8 inch hair length.
German/Butler Style (top) and
French Style (bottom) bows available
Please note, all bows now have black hair. Photos in the "Additional Photos" section show the bow with white hair. It's a really nice feeling hair, not too coarse but with nice grab.

Hey Bob and Mark, My concert bow cost nearly 4 times as much as your pernambuco bow, but the tone and quality of your bow is almost the same! Now I have 2 great bows to use while the other is being rehaired. What a deal!!! Thanks!!

I just got my Pernambuco German bow. It is very fine - as good or better than an $800.00 model I tried some years ago. what would we do without y'all?

You guys are good! I received my Pernambuco Bow today, about 48 hours after ordering it, and I'm knocked out by how nice it is. Feels very solid and balanced, and it looks beautiful. Thanks very much for the excellent service and product. I'm a happy man.

Hi Bob and Mark, Thought I'd send you an update on how I like the stuff I got last week. First of all, the Bow Case for Two Bass Bows is perfect and looks awesome. It's light and very confidence inspiring.
About the French Pernambuco Bass Bow. Wow, money well spent. You know, I had started learning arco with a cheap bow of unknown origin. My back and right shoulder would sometimes hurt after practice. With the new bow I now realize what I have been missing all along. I've made considerable progress in a just a few days. Just letting the gravity and the rosin on the hair pull the sound without effort.
—Simon L (Sept 2010)
