A satisfying bow

The bow is solid. It provides a good sound to my violin and it is sensitive to the slightest pressure added to it.

Great bang for the buck

I was sent bows by 3 different firms, including Shar. This last batch included the Marco Raposo, and a few others, including a $1000 German bow I had tried before and liked. The Raposo beat the others for me in tone and clarity, which was surprising given it being the least expensive one in that batch of 5 that I was sent. I was also sent bows by Fiddlerman and SW Strings at the same time. One other bow in the Shar batch was a close contender, but was only better on one instrument and one piece of music. The Raposo kept turning in a superior performance on a fair number of pieces and instruments. Pretty satisfied with the deal and sound, and the assistance I received from Shar.

Amazing Bow for the Price

I am recently getting back into playing the violin and did an in-home trial with Shar on some violins and bows. Because violin is a secondary instrument for me, I looked at bows in the intermediate range. This Marco Raposo bow stood head and shoulders above the others. It feels and plays like it should cost so much more and not be in the intermediate category. Bonus that I love - the pernambuco wood is sustainably sourced!
