A violin cannot come without bow. Without a bow, a violin cannot play a single note so a bow is very important.

Parts of a the bow:

There are the screw, pad, stick, hair and the frog.

Screw: Screw is the thing you turn it to tighten the hair

Pad: Pad is where you rest your hand

Hair: Ensure that the hair is always applied with Rosin so that the sound is clear and loud

Frog: Frog is the end of the bow that holds one end of the hair

Stick: Stick is the stick that connect the end of the bow to the other bow

There are two types of bows the wooden and the carbon fibre.

Wooden bow:

It is the normal bow that is brown in colour. It is the most common as most of the violinist are using the wooden bow

Some wooden bow are very good as they can cost up to 20,000 SGD or more as the sound produce by the bow depends on the quality of the wood used to make the bow.

Carbon Fibre bow:

To me I think using the carbon fibre bow is quite cool as the stick is all black.

Carbon fibre bow is good as it is much more durable then wooden bow. After you tighten your bow if you forgot to untighten it, a wooden bow will be bent but a carbon fibre bow will not as it has a memory of the shape so it will spring back to original shape.
