Choosing a Bow for Your Plugged-In Instrument
Why a carbon-fiber bow may be your electric fiddle’s best friend
The aesthetic of a futuristic bow meeting an innovative violin alone may be enough to inspire electric string players to try out a carbon-fiber bow. And that’s good because nearly every electric-stringed-instrument maker recommends a carbon-fiber bow as the perfect companion to his masterpiece for reasons that transcend aesthetics. While sound, feel, and sex appeal are largely in the eyes and ears of the bow holder, carbon fiber comes with benefits that advocates say shouldn’t be overlooked.
