OMG, look at this glasser
violin bow; isn’t it lovely? I am sure the violinist who is playing with
this bow would be surrounded by several pairs of eyes of co-violinists.
Generally, violinists
would stay traditional either with their violin and the bow. As long as they are
comfortable with the weight of violin on their arm and shoulder, they do not go
beyond that.
However, the
glasser bow is said to give the violin players a better feel of the bow while
they play. They can concentrate on the music notes in front of them and need
not glance at the bow every now and then. Yes, I have seen violin players do
that as if to check whether the bow is still on the violin or the violin is on
the center of the shoulder.
The glasser violin
bow is made of carbon fibers in a way that you do not detect a single fiber; it
looks like a continuous pattern.
There are lots of
positive feedbacks of glasser violin bow. It seems the transition from the
wooden bow is almost complete.
