In the past, some luthiers used baleen (whale bone) for grips. Now the use of baleen is banned, but this classic shape has been preserved. The grip of the B229 violin bow uses high-grade plastic instead of baleen, which is both beautiful and environmentally friendly. The most important thing is that it feels comfortable and has a suitable weight.
The B229 violin bow body is made of 1-star Pernambuco wood. Pernambuco is recognized as one of the most suitable woods for making high-end bows. Simple understanding, Pernambuco wood can be divided into 3 grades, the difference is mainly in hardness and elasticity, the better the wood, the better the hardness and elasticity, so that the bow response is more sensitive when playing, and it is more conducive to sound transmission. 1-star wood can meet many needs of performance, and you can choose 2-3 star for higher sound quality.

Taking care of your violin will effectively extend its lifespan.
First wipe the rosin from the violin, bow, string with a polishing cloth (included in most of our outfits) after each play, then place the violin in a case to protect the violin.
Then, pay attention to the humidity and temperature of the environment you are in. The ideal humidity is around 40%, and you need a humidifier when it is dry in winter and dehumidifier when it is wet in summer. Please don’t leave the instrument in the car or outdoors for a long time, the damage to the violin in extreme environments is irreversible. We've seen many violinists leave their violin in a hot car in the summer, and then the paint all melts, irreversible damage to the violin. Read more:Routine care and maintenance of violins and bows.
