For years string teachers have told us that fiberglass bows are a durable and practical choice for active young students and their budget-conscious parents. But because they lack the finesse and handling properties of wood or carbon fiber bows, teaching bowing techniques can be difficult. We listened to our colleagues and set out to find a solution. The result is the SHAR FUSION student bow. Utilizing carbon fiber construction, the SHAR FUSION is strong and priced right. But best of all, the SHAR FUSION performs like much more expensive wood or carbon fiber bow. Try one today! "When considering a new bow for their student, teachers and parents alike have expressed their desire for a well-constructed bow that doesn't compromise its playability and responsiveness. I'm happy to say this bow is an excellent option for customers looking for a durable and practical bow, without inhibiting a young player's sound and technique development. Immediately after trying this bow for the first time, I noticed how easily the violin responded to it." - William Kaltz-Hall, Violinist, Contact Center Representative Canadian rock group Article One, combines pop-rock accessibility with the hard-driving virtuosity and honesty of an indie band. Here's what Article One's world-class rock violinist, Matt Piche', has to say about the Shar Fusion bows that he uses in his performances: "The Shar Fusion allows me to express all the passion and intensity that Article One's music demands, without wilting or breaking. Sometimes our shows get a little crazy - the rugged Fusion bow stands up to abuse better than any wood bow, yet it plays like a good wood bow. It's ideal for demanding music-making."

Very annoying buzzing sound made by this bow.
My daughter had been using a cheap wooden bow and it had lost a lot of hair over the year so I decided to get this slightly more expensive composite bow. I have heard and experienced good results from carbon fiber bows myself and also have one fiberglass bow that is decent for the price. So, I expected this to have a smooth sound.However, after plenty of playing with this bow, we continue to get a vibration and buzz that won't go away no matter how much we tighten/loosen the hair, clean the strings, etc. I wondered if it was the violin so we picked up the old, cheap wooden bow and it sounded much better, even with the lack of hair.So, for $50 I do NOT recommend this bow. I would return it, but the restocking fee wouldn't be worth it. I'll just consider it a lesson learned. I should have gone to the local violin shop and gotten another inexpensive wooden bow.

Bow was okay, but had to glue a plastic/leather piece that came loose after a couple of weeks.
