Sleek and sturdy carbon

Carbon is a true all-rounder when it comes to stick material. The braided style of this carbon bow looks impressive, especially with the interwoven red nylon to contrast with the black. Carbon gives the bow a sleek, sophisticated look, while also providing serious durability and resilience. First of all, it's strong, so it will endure any bumps or drops and is very unlikely to snap. Whereas wood can snap or crack at the tip, carbon's strength means your bow is unlikely to break. For this reason, carbon bows are ideal for students, as you are less likely to need to replace your bow and can play with confidence.

Beyond strength, carbon is resistant to changes in temperature. Whereas wood can expand or contract in heat, carbon can withstand varying temperatures and humidity without warping - and warping can impact the bow's balance. This means carbon bows are popular among players who might perform outside, but also for any players who want to ensure that their bow maintains its balance and stable structure no matter the conditions. Rely on your Glasser carbon bow.

The perfect balance

A bow's balance point is key to its performance. The Glasser Braided Carbon Fibre Bow has a solid core, setting it apart from composite bows which are hollow - giving the bow an even balance. This gives you greater control over your bow's movements and gives the bow a great response. Round sticks are popular among professionals as they offer improved balance too. Having this level of control means you'll be able to add expression to your playing and control the volume of your bow.

The finer details

Glasser has considered the details that add to a bow's comfort, appearance and ability to create a great sound. Ebony is the perfect material for the frog because it has a firm, dense feel. The frog won't require any varnish thanks to ebony's natural oils, making it the perfect surface for contact with your thumb. Embedded in the ebony frog is a beautiful, premium quality, abalone slide and eye - details which add up to create an attractive, professional overall look.

Hold your bow in comfort thanks to the nickel silver taping. This metal is durable and remains in great condition despite the fact it has a lot of contact with your hand. The durability and smooth feel of nickel silver is ideal when you're using your bow regularly and for long rehearsal sessions. You'll be able to maintain a rich tone throughout these sessions because of the Glasser Carbon Composite Bow's premium quality, natural hair.
