Yamaha CBB101 Carbon Violin Bow Overview

The Yamaha Carbon Violin Bow combines a modern carbon construction with the traditional tone and playability of pernambuco bows. Carbon is durable, lightweight and resistant to changes in temperature - so it won't warp like wood can. Its strength also means it can withstand forceful playing, so it's ideal for advanced players.

Play your best. The Carbon Violin Bow offers stability and balance thanks to its lightweight feel and round stick. With such bow stability, you'll have greater control, meaning you'll be able to create the clearest, strongest tone. To enhance your control, the ebony frog is the perfect surface upon which to rest your thumb, as it doesn't require varnish, which would make it too smooth. Switch to the Yamaha Carbon Bow for durability and precision.

Revolutionary carbon

Featuring a woven carbon finish, the bow has a sleek and sophisticated look. But carbon does more than look good. It's durable and strong, so it will withstand aggressive playing or any drops or bumps. And yet, it's incredibly lightweight. This makes carbon a fantastic substitute for traditional pernambuco wood, as it has the same attractive qualities like excellent response, balance and warm tone - but it's long-lasting and more environmentally friendly too.

Carbon is also resistant to changes in temperature. Whereas wood can expand or contract in heat, carbon withstands varying temperatures and humidity without warping - and warping can impact the bow's balance. This means carbon bows are popular among players who might be doing some performances outside or if they simply want to ensure they have control over their bow in unpredictable temperature conditions. Switching from a wood bow to a carbon bow has never been easier: the Yamaha Carbon Violin Bow has a natural feel, like wood, and great playability. Feel at home with your new bow.

All in the finer details

Yamaha has perfected the details that add to the Carbon Bow's comfort, appearance and sound. Made of ebony, the frog has a firm, dense feel and won't require any varnish thanks to ebony's natural oils, so it's the perfect surface for contact with your thumb. Embedded in the ebony frog is a pearl eye surrounded by a nickel ring. These details are complemented by the Carbon Violin Bow's silver-plated winding, offering a succinct, clean overall finish.

Hold your bow in comfort. The leather grip is durable and offers a cushion for your hand while playing and the high-quality silver-plated winding will remain in excellent condition, which is important since it will have lots of contact with your hand. Create a rich, traditional violin sound with quality, natural hair.
