A
new service from SHAR just
for Private Teachers.
Bow trials have always been available for advanced bows, now SHAR
offers a trial service for bows $25-$100!
Shopping by mail
can save trips to the violin shop - a real hardship for musicians
in out-of-the-way areas - but trying to mail order bows without
playing them in person, often results in repeat trips to the post
office. In an effort to make this process more convenient
and accessible, we have developed the 30-day STUDIO BOW TRIAL,
enabling a teacher's entire studio to try out and buy bows during
normal lesson time. The Studio Bow Trial includes a
selection of student bows in any combination of instruments and
sizes, and attractive display, "Ask the Maestro"
brochures featuring answers to frequently asked questions about
bows, a how-to guide for hosting a bow trial in your studio, and a
prepaid UPS label for return shipping. Now we can simulate
the kind of selection and service normally available in a shop or
at higher price ranges.
The Studio Bow
Trial is available only to members of the American String Teachers
Association (ASTA) or the Suzuki Association.

stronger bow than wood bows in the same price range and wants
the attributes of a carbon-fiber bow for a fraction of the
cost of most carbon-fiber bows available today.
