GEWA: a reliable bow for daily practice
Stamped "GEWA", this bow is designed with reliability and consistency in mind: a solution crafted to support lessons, rehearsals, and technical progress, featuring a clean finish and classic materials.
Who is it for and for what uses?
This 3/4 viola bow is particularly suitable for beginners and intermediate players seeking a stable bow to work on bow hold, bowing techniques (détaché, legato, light martelé), and attack accuracy, both in classical music and ensemble repertoire.
Sound quality
A bow directly influences the attack, clarity, and consistency of sound. Here, the natural horsehair promotes a firm grip, while the ebony frog contributes to a controlled feel in the hand. The round stick provides a predictable response, useful for stabilizing tone production and gaining comfort across dynamics.
Recommended compatible accessories
To optimize grip and playing consistency, the use of an appropriate rosin is recommended with any bow featuring natural horsehair.
