H. Walter Zapf Violin Bow, Pernambuco Overview
The H. Walter Zapf Violin Bow is a bow with a traditional style. Pernambuco is the classic wood for string bows because it's dense and strong enough to be cut thinly and still maintain its shape after years of use. Its strength gives it excellent responsiveness allowing you to create the warmest tone and discover your violin's full potential.
Play with the perfect balance in your bow. Gewa's precise engineering techniques give the H. Walter Zapf Violin Bow a balanced weight distribution. The bow's balance point is important not only so the bow feels comfortable and natural to play, but also so you have greater control over the bow's movements to ensure a clear, clean sound. With added details like the octagonal shape and durable nickel silver winding, the bow is comfortable to hold.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionPremium pernambuco
Even after advancements in technology and the introduction of carbon bows, many professional string players feel that the warm, pure tone that a classic pernambuco bow gives you is impossible to match. It's the best type of wood for bows because of how dense it is, meaning it can be cut thinly and be carefully crafted into a well-balanced bow while still maintaining its strength, and therefore its durability.
Detailed design
Gewa always considers the details that will 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, so it provides just enough friction for contact with your thumb. Embedded in the ebony frog is a beautiful pearl eye and slide - details which add up to create an attractive overall look.
Hold your bow in comfort thanks to the nickel silver winding. This metal is durable and remains in great condition despite the fact it has a lot of contact with your hand. You'll be able to play for long sessions and maintain a rich tone because of the H. Walter Zapf Violin Bow's quality, natural hair.
