The Yamaha CBB101 standard model carbon fiber bow features excellent playability and outstanding performance for the price. It's the perfect bow for the advancing violinist.
Yamaha has created a revolution in the string world by offering extremely high quality carbon fiber bows which are consistently produced -- and at very affordable prices. At first, many professionals bought them as second bows to use for practice and when climatic conditions weren't favorable to natural wood. But more and more of these players have discovered that the carbon fiber bows are equal to some of the best professional Pernambuco wooden bows; yet for only a fraction of their cost.
The fact that world-class soloists such as Pinchas Zukerman and Zakhar Bron use Yamaha bows is a testament to how well they play, and many orchestral players have begun using them as their main bows too. Yamaha's carbon fiber bows can be used with complete confidence by discriminating artists in all musical situations.
Carbon fibre bows come close to matching the characteristics of wood, but changes in weather, temperature, or humidity have little effect on carbon fiber, making it highly stable and perfect for use in any situation especially those in which musicians would rather not risk using their primary bow, such as when playing outdoors or on tour. The carbon fibre bows are great alternatives that can be used with confidence in any musical setting. In addition, the bows are lightweight and possess an optimum combination of strength and flexibility.
Yamaha carbon fibre bows will appeal to intermediate and advanced players, especially high school and college performers, professionals of classical or any alternative style music, as well as teachers and private instructors. They are available for violin, viola, and cello.
