A Bow in the Spirit of the French Tradition
With its Parisian eye, nickel silver fittings, and ebony frog, this viola bow embodies a classic aesthetic designed to last and accompany the player daily. The whalebone frog lining reinforces this traditional character, appreciated for its grip and "luthier" appearance.
For Which Violist? In Which Styles?
In size 4/4 for viola, this bow is aimed at advanced beginner to intermediate violists seeking a responsive bow capable of remaining stable during common bow strokes (detache, light martelé, slurs). It suits both classical (orchestra, chamber music) and contemporary and traditional repertoires where attack precision and articulation clarity are essential.
Sound
The sound of a viola strongly depends on the bow: here, the angular Wamara stick promotes a responsive sensation and good energy transmission, useful for producing sound without forcing. The natural hair provides reliable grip, allowing for clean note initiation, clear articulation, and finer dynamic control. The combination of ebony frog and slide contributes to a stable grip, helping to maintain a consistent bow trajectory and a more homogeneous timbre across all strings.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the most out of your natural hair, a viola rosin is recommended (grip, stability, and control). A bow protection tube is also useful for secure transport and shock protection.
