Master Zhang and I met many years ago. Master Zhang has been learning to make bows in a bow shop since he was 10 years old. According to today, it has been more than 40 years. And master Zhang’s son has been learning how to make bows under his father’s guidance for more than 20 years. This is the inheritance of craftsmen. The Heritage Series of bows are all completed under the cooperation of father and son, and are high-end series of bows.
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.
