Why invest in a new bow?

Here are some great reasons you may want to consider acquiring a new bow:

A bow can change your sound and the way your instrument responds.  It is important to choose the bow for your violin, viola or cello because it makes a remarkable difference.

First time bow buyer. For anyone shopping for a bow for the first time, we offer a huge selection of bows from student to professional level. Our knowledgeable staff will guide you with your decision to find a bow that fits your needs and your budget. We carry a wide selection of both Pernambuco and Carbon Fiber options, and with our 100% trade-in policy you have an opportunity to trade up to a more advanced bow when you’re ready.

Upgrading/Trade-in. Perhaps you’ve already got a bow, but it’s holding you back musically and you’re ready to find something better. Givens Violins hand selects all our bows from some of the greatest makers around the globe. We have an extensive inventory of violin, viola and cello bows we would love to have you try today. If you have a bow purchased from Givens Violins that you are looking to trade, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the bow sale and move up to a next level bow.

Backup bow. You’ve already got a bow that you’re in love with but have always thought it would be a good idea to have one in reserve. You would be right! Many string players keep a dependable back-up bow for concerts or gigs where they’re not entirely comfortable using their best stuff on stage (or in a bar). This may also be a bow you lend to students or use when you’re getting a rehair or having a bow repair.

Baroque bow. Whether you’re a serious baroque musician or just like to play Bach from time to time, a baroque bow is a great tool to have. Rather than choke up on your current bow and pretend it’s a baroque bow, why not get the real thing? Givens Violins has a great selection of baroque bows for violin, viola and cello starting at $475.
