Carbon Fiber Bows . The Carbon Fiber Option String players are recognizing the new synthetic bows as valuable musical tools. These bows are now being made to provide high performance and outstanding sound at a very reasonable price. The material used is a special carbon fiber which, unlike wood, can be made to be consistent in mass and flexibility. He builds all his bows in the traditional way, with handmade ebony frogs mounted in silver and gold.
Every detail is finished in the same manner as that of a fine pernambuco wood bow.
The bows are truly beautiful and are available for trial and purchase. Dear Johnson String Instrument, I wanted to drop a quick note of appreciation for championing new bows and instruments, especially the beautiful bows made by Claudio Righetti. I've enjoyed over a year's worth of outstanding learning, playing, and concertising with my Righetti. Since last year I've played many antique bows by a century's past of great makers, few of which have surpassed my Righetti's strength, sweetness, and playability. Its instant feedback and seamless precision still does not cease to amaze me.
